Homemade - Dhokla (1 grams)

Reduce the dhokla portion and avoid eating it alone; start with a salad of cucumber, tomato, and leafy vegetables dressed with lemon.

Pair dhokla with a protein-rich side such as plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, paneer, eggs, or tofu rather than sweet chutney.

Make dhokla with a higher proportion of besan and less rice or semolina; add grated vegetables such as spinach, zucchini, or cabbage to the batter.

Skip sugar in the batter and tempering, and choose mint-coriander chutney without added sugar instead of sweet tamarind chutney.

Add a small serving of nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, peanuts, or chia seeds, alongside the meal.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, and avoid adding sugary drinks, fruit juice, or dessert to the same meal.
