English Vada Pav (1 Piece) and Pav Bhaji (1 Serving (150g))

Reduce the portion: have either vada pav or pav bhaji, not both; consider half a pav and avoid extra butter.

Eat a protein-and-fibre starter such as plain unsweetened curd, paneer, or a small serving of chickpeas before the meal.

Add a large side of non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, tomato, cabbage, lettuce, or capsicum; ask for extra vegetables in the bhaji.

Skip sweet drinks, juice, and dessert; choose water, soda water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Avoid adding extra pav, butter, sev, or sweet chutney; use mint-coriander chutney and onion in modest amounts instead.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk soon after eating, if safe for you.
