Fried Whole Wheat Puri or Poori Bread (Indian Puffed Bread) (1 Puri (Approx 4 4/5 Inches Dia)) and Punjabi Chole (Gits) (1 Serving)

Limit fried puri to one small piece, and avoid having it as the main source of calories in the meal.

Eat the chole first, along with a large cucumber, tomato, onion, and leafy-green salad; have the puri last.

Choose chole prepared with minimal added oil or ghee, and avoid added sugar, sweet chutneys, or potato in the dish.

Add a protein-rich side such as plain unsweetened yogurt, paneer, eggs, fish, or chicken to slow the meal’s glucose impact.

When practical, replace puri with a small barley-flour roti; avoid pairing the meal with rice, sugary drinks, or dessert.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk soon after eating, and use your usual glucose monitoring to identify the puri portion that keeps your response stable.
