Payasam Mix (Aachi) (1 Serving)

Use a smaller serving of payasam mix, and avoid having a second helping; save the rest for another day.

Prepare it with less added sugar or use a non-sugar sweetener such as stevia, and avoid adding jaggery, condensed milk, or extra sweet toppings.

Eat it after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach; include protein and fibre first, such as plain Greek yogurt, almonds, or chia seeds.

Choose a version made with more nuts, seeds, and milk and less rice, vermicelli, or refined starch; keep any rice-based portion small.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating to help reduce the rise in glucose.

Check your glucose response when trying a new portion size or recipe. If large spikes continue, discuss your meal plan and medication timing with your clinician.
