Sabudana vada (1 piece)

Keep the serving small—have one small vada rather than multiple pieces, and avoid a second helping.

Choose baked or air-fried vadas with minimal added fat instead of deep-fried versions.

Eat the vada alongside plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, paneer, tofu, or eggs to slow absorption.

Add a large side of non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, tomato, spinach, lettuce, or cabbage before the vada.

Avoid sweet drinks, fruit juice, and sugary chutneys with the meal; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating and check your glucose response to refine your portion size.
