Vegetable Curry (1 Serving (245g)) and Fried Whole Wheat Puri or Poori Bread (Indian Puffed Bread) (1 Puri (Approx 4 4/5 Inches Dia))

Reduce the portion of puri (for example, have 1 small puri instead of several) and avoid adding extra oil or ghee.

Start the meal with a salad or cooked non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, okra, cauliflower, cabbage, or green beans.

Add a protein-rich side such as dal, chickpeas, lentils, paneer, eggs, fish, chicken, or plain unsweetened Greek yogurt.

Choose a vegetable curry with minimal potato, corn, peas, or added sugar; favor vegetables such as eggplant, okra, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage, and zucchini.

Eat the curry, vegetables, and protein first, then eat the puri slowly rather than eating it alone.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal, if safe for you, and avoid sweet drinks or desserts with it.
