How to consume Idli, Sambar without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a side of boiled or poached eggs, which can help slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Incorporate Fiber

Include a portion of sautéed or steamed vegetables like broccoli or spinach to your meal to increase fiber intake.

Add Healthy Fats

Consider incorporating healthy fats such as a small serving of unsalted nuts like almonds or walnuts.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water before and during your meal, which can aid in digestion and help moderate blood sugar levels.

Use Whole Grains

If making idli at home, try using a mix that includes whole grains or millets to increase the nutritional value and reduce rapid glucose spikes.

Smaller Portions

Reduce the portion size of your idli and sambar, and eat more frequently but in smaller amounts throughout the day.

Include Lemon or Vinegar

Add a splash of lemon juice or a small amount of vinegar to your sambar to potentially help with blood sugar control.

Chew Slowly and Thoroughly

Take your time to eat and chew each bite well, as eating slowly can help with digestion and reduce the impact on blood sugar levels.
