Tea with Milk and Sugar (1 Teacup (6 Fl Oz)) and English Vada Pav (1 Piece)

Have a smaller portion: consider half a vada pav, or skip the pav and eat the vada only occasionally, as the potato-and-bread combination can raise glucose quickly.

Replace sweet milk tea with unsweetened tea or tea with milk and a non-sugar sweetener; avoid adding sugar, honey, or jaggery.

Eat a side of non-starchy vegetables before or with the meal, such as cucumber, tomato, lettuce, cabbage, or a leafy salad.

Add a protein- and fiber-rich accompaniment such as plain unsweetened yogurt, roasted chickpeas, or a small handful of almonds or peanuts.

Avoid having vada pav on an empty stomach; have it after a balanced meal containing lentils, chickpeas, vegetables, or eggs if suitable for you.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
