Mutton Curry with Rice (1 piece)

Reduce the rice portion and choose a smaller serving of basmati rice, which has a lower carbohydrate impact than many other white rice varieties.

Fill at least half the plate with non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, okra, cauliflower, cabbage, or green beans before adding rice.

Keep the mutton curry protein-forward: use leaner pieces, limit added sugar, and avoid thickening the gravy with flour, potato, or sugary sauces.

Start the meal with a salad of cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, and lemon or vinegar-based dressing to slow the rise in blood sugar.

Avoid accompanying the meal with sweet drinks, dessert, naan, or extra rice; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if safe for you, to help your muscles use circulating glucose.
