Handwa - Gujarati Dish - Combination of Flours, Spices and Baked In Oven, 3 piece (1 serving(s))

Reduce the serving from 3 pieces to 1–2 pieces, especially if the Handwa contains rice, semolina, or added sugar.

Eat Handwa with a protein-rich side such as plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, paneer, tofu, or eggs to slow glucose absorption.

Add a large portion of non-starchy vegetables before or alongside it, such as cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, or bell peppers.

Choose Handwa made with more lentils, chickpea flour, vegetables, and seeds, while reducing rice flour, semolina, potato, and sugar in the recipe.

Avoid sweet chutneys, sugary drinks, and dessert with the meal; use mint-coriander chutney without sugar or a small amount of plain yogurt instead.

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