How to consume Idli, Uttapam without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Keep the portion sizes small to prevent overwhelming your system with too many carbohydrates at once.

Add Fiber

Incorporate vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, and bell peppers into your idli or uttapam batter to increase fiber content, which can slow glucose absorption.

Include Protein

Pair your meal with a source of protein such as a side of yogurt or cottage cheese, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil to your meal to further slow digestion and absorption.

Timing of Consumption

Eat your idli or uttapam as part of a balanced meal rather than on its own, ideally after consuming vegetables or a salad to create a buffer for glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to assist in digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, use whole grain or mixed flour alternatives for your idli or uttapam to increase the nutrient profile and slow down carbohydrate digestion.
