Homemade - Rajma Chawal (1 cupscooked)

Reduce the rice portion and keep rajma as the larger part of the meal; avoid second servings of rice.

Use cooked, cooled, and reheated basmati rice, or replace part of the rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice.

Add a generous non-starchy vegetable side such as cucumber, tomato, spinach, okra, or mixed salad before the meal.

Include a protein or fat accompaniment such as plain curd, paneer, tofu, or a small handful of almonds to slow absorption.

Avoid sweet drinks, dessert, papad, or extra fried sides with the rajma chawal meal.

Take a brisk 10–20 minute walk soon after eating, if medically appropriate.
