Homemade - Khaman Dhokla (1 piece) and Tea with Milk and Sugar (1 Teacup (6 Fl Oz))

Reduce the portion of khaman dhokla and avoid having it alone; pair a smaller serving with protein such as plain Greek yogurt, paneer, or a boiled egg.

Choose unsweetened tea with milk, or progressively reduce the sugar to half or less; use cinnamon or cardamom for extra flavor.

Add fiber-rich sides to the meal, such as cucumber, tomato, leafy salad, or lightly sautéed non-starchy vegetables.

Include a small portion of nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, peanuts, or chia seeds, alongside the dhokla.

Use more besan and less rice/semolina when making dhokla, and add grated vegetables or methi to increase fiber and slow absorption.

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