paneer puff (1 piece)

Choose a smaller portion or share the paneer puff; avoid having a second pastry.

Eat it after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach, starting with non-starchy vegetables such as salad, cucumber, tomato, or sautéed greens.

Pair the puff with extra protein and fiber, such as plain paneer, unsweetened Greek yogurt, or a small serving of chickpeas.

If possible, choose a baked puff made with a thin whole-wheat or high-fiber crust and a generous paneer-and-vegetable filling instead of a flaky refined-flour pastry.

Skip sugary drinks, juice, sweet chai, and dessert with the puff; choose water, unsweetened tea, or plain buttermilk instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if this is safe and appropriate for you.
