Masala Chana (Haldiram's) (1 Serving)

Keep the Masala Chana portion moderate (for example, about ½–¾ cup cooked) and avoid second helpings.

Eat it with a large side of non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, tomato, spinach, lettuce, or bell pepper.

Add protein or fat to the meal, such as plain curd, paneer, eggs, tofu, or a small handful of almonds, to slow glucose absorption.

Avoid pairing Masala Chana with white rice, naan, refined-flour snacks, potatoes, sweet chutneys, or sugary drinks.

Choose a lower-carbohydrate accompaniment if needed, such as a small whole-wheat roti or cauliflower rice, rather than refined grains.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating, if safe for you, to help reduce the post-meal rise.
