Panipuri (1 Piece) and Pastry filled with Potatoes and Peas (Fried) (1 Regular Samosa)

Reduce the portion: have 3–4 panipuri and one small fried pastry rather than a full serving, and avoid repeat helpings.

Eat a protein- and fiber-rich starter first, such as plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, paneer, or a small bowl of chickpeas, before the fried snacks.

Choose more potato-and-pea filling with less puri or pastry shell when possible, and skip sweet chutney; use mint, coriander, lemon, or spicy water instead.

Avoid pairing these foods with sugary drinks, juice, sweet lassi, or dessert; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Eat slowly, with pauses between pieces, and stop when comfortably satisfied rather than eating continuously.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if safe for you, to help blunt the rise.
