Homemade - Poha (Flakes With Potatoes and Peanuts) (1 grams)

Reduce the poha portion by about one-quarter to one-third, and avoid a second serving; keep peanuts measured rather than adding extra handfuls.

Use fewer potato cubes or replace most of them with non-starchy vegetables such as peas, cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, bell peppers, or green beans.

Add a protein side such as plain unsweetened yogurt, paneer, eggs, or moong dal to slow absorption and improve fullness.

Increase fiber in the poha with vegetables and a little chia or ground flaxseed; avoid adding sugar or sweet chutneys.

Cook with minimal oil, include lemon and fresh herbs, and avoid pairing the meal with juice, sweet tea, or other sugary drinks.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if appropriate for you, to help blunt the post-meal rise.
