Tea with Milk and Sugar (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz)) and Fried Vegetables Dipped in Chick Pea Flour Batter (Pakora) (1 Pakora)

Reduce the pakora portion and make the batter thinner; include more non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, cauliflower, onion, or zucchini and use less chickpea flour per serving.

Prefer air-frying, baking, or shallow-pan cooking with minimal oil instead of deep-frying to reduce the meal’s overall metabolic impact.

Have the pakoras with a protein-rich side such as plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or paneer, rather than eating them alone.

Replace sweetened milk tea with unsweetened tea, or gradually reduce the sugar to zero; use a small amount of milk if desired.

Add a fiber-rich accompaniment such as a cucumber, tomato, and leafy-green salad with lemon before or alongside the pakoras.

Take a relaxed 10–20 minute walk after the meal and avoid adding other starches or sweets at the same sitting.
