Khandvi (1 serving(s))

Keep the khandvi portion modest and avoid having seconds, especially if it is made with added sugar or sweet chutney.

Pair khandvi with a protein-rich side such as plain unsweetened yogurt, tofu, paneer, or boiled eggs to slow glucose absorption.

Add a generous serving of non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, tomato, leafy salad, broccoli, or sautéed spinach.

Choose green chutney or mint-coriander chutney without sugar instead of sweet tamarind or date chutney.

Avoid combining khandvi with other refined-carbohydrate foods or sugary drinks; choose water, unsweetened tea, or buttermilk instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
