How to consume Masala Dosa, Sambhar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the masala dosa and sambhar. Smaller portions can lead to a lesser impact on blood glucose levels.

Add High-fiber Foods

Incorporate high-fiber vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, and broccoli into the meal. They can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein

Add a side of protein such as grilled chicken, paneer, or tofu, which can help balance the meal and reduce the glucose spike.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado or a handful of nuts (almonds, walnuts) to slow down digestion and the release of glucose.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, as it can aid in digestion and help moderate blood sugar levels.

Prior Meal Planning

Consume a light snack rich in fiber and protein, such as apple slices with peanut butter or a small yogurt, about 30 minutes before eating the dosa to stabilize blood sugar.

Slow Eating

Take time to eat your meal slowly and chew thoroughly. This can help regulate the speed of digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Physical Activity

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

Monitor Ingredients

Prepare sambhar with less oil and ensure the dosa is cooked using minimal oil or ghee to reduce added fats.

Spice It Up Wisely

Use spices like cinnamon and turmeric in your sambhar, as they may have positive effects on blood sugar control.
