Homemade - Undhiyu (1 cup)

Reduce the portion of starchy ingredients in Undhiyu, especially potatoes, purple yam, and sweet potato, and increase the proportion of non-starchy vegetables such as eggplant, fenugreek leaves, green beans, and cabbage.

Use fewer or smaller methi muthia dumplings, particularly if they are made with refined flour or added sugar; bake or air-fry them instead of deep-frying.

Avoid adding jaggery or sugar to the recipe; build sweetness and flavor with coconut, sesame, coriander, ginger, garlic, lemon, and spices instead.

Pair the meal with a protein-rich side such as plain unsweetened yogurt, tofu, paneer, or lentils to slow the rise in glucose.

Keep accompanying rotis, rice, puri, and sweet drinks small or skip them when having Undhiyu; choose a large salad or extra non-starchy vegetables instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal and avoid eating the dish on an empty stomach.
