English Ragi Roti (1 Piece)

Reduce the ragi flour portion and make a smaller, thicker roti; avoid eating it alone or on an empty stomach.

Pair the roti with a protein-rich side such as paneer, plain Greek yogurt/curd, eggs, tofu, fish, or chicken.

Add plenty of non-starchy vegetables to the meal, such as spinach, okra, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, mushrooms, cucumber, tomato, or leafy salad.

Mix ragi flour with higher-fiber flours such as besan (chickpea flour) or barley flour rather than making the roti entirely from ragi.

Avoid accompanying it with potato dishes, rice, sugary chutneys, sweet tea, juice, or desserts; choose unsweetened curd, mint-coriander chutney, or vegetable curry instead.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating and monitor your response to identify the ragi-roti portion that works best for you.
