Homemade - Sabudana Khichadi (1 cup)

Reduce the sabudana portion and avoid second helpings; serve it in a smaller bowl and eat slowly.

Add protein and fat to the meal, such as paneer, tofu, plain unsweetened yogurt, or peanuts, to slow carbohydrate absorption.

Bulk the khichadi with non-starchy vegetables such as cauliflower, spinach, zucchini, capsicum, or green beans, while using less sabudana.

Avoid adding sugar, sweetened coconut, sweet drinks, or dessert alongside the khichadi; choose water, lemon water without sugar, or plain buttermilk instead.

Start the meal with a salad of cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, and lemon, then have the khichadi afterward.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if safe and appropriate for you.
