Gujarati Pudla - Onion, Tomato, Hot Pepper, Basen (Chick Pea Flour), 1 piece (1 serving(s))

Have the pudla with a side of non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, spinach, lettuce, tomato, or bell pepper to add fiber and slow absorption.

Pair one pudla with plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or a small serving of paneer for extra protein; avoid sweetened yogurt.

Use minimal oil when cooking, but include a small amount of healthy fat such as avocado or a few almonds alongside the meal to improve fullness and blunt the rise.

Avoid high-sugar accompaniments such as sweet chutney, ketchup, jaggery, or sugary drinks; choose mint-coriander chutney without sugar instead.

Keep the serving to one pudla and avoid adding rice, bread, potatoes, or other starches in the same meal.

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