Multigrain Chapati (1 Piece)

Reduce the portion: try one smaller, thinner chapati instead of multiple chapatis, and avoid adding refined flour or starches to the dough.

Pair the chapati with protein and fat, such as eggs, paneer, tofu, unsweetened Greek yogurt, or dal, rather than eating it alone.

Fill at least half your plate with non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, okra, cauliflower, cabbage, mushrooms, cucumber, or salad before eating the chapati.

Choose a dough based mainly on whole wheat, barley, or besan, and add fibre-rich ingredients such as psyllium husk, methi, or grated vegetables; avoid flour blends dominated by maize, rice flour, or refined flour.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after the meal, if this is safe for you and consistent with your clinician’s advice.

Check your glucose response with a smaller portion and different meal pairings, since “multigrain” mixes vary widely; discuss repeated large rises with your diabetes clinician or dietitian.
