Generic - Khaman Dhokla (1 dhoklas)

Reduce the serving size of khaman dhokla and avoid seconds; eat it slowly rather than as a large snack or meal.

Have it with a protein-rich side such as plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, paneer, or boiled eggs to blunt the rise.

Add a generous portion of non-starchy vegetables, such as cucumber, tomato, spinach, or salad, before or alongside the dhokla.

Skip sweet chutneys, sugary tea, juice, and other refined-carbohydrate sides; choose mint-coriander chutney without added sugar instead.

Choose homemade or less-sweet khaman when possible, using less sugar in the batter and tempering.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and use your glucose readings to identify a portion size that works for you.
