Sabudhana Kichidi - Kichidi (1 cupcooked)

Reduce the sabudana portion and bulk the dish with non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, capsicum, mushrooms, zucchini, or cauliflower.

Add a protein source to the meal, such as paneer, eggs, tofu, plain Greek yogurt, or unsweetened curd.

Include a small serving of healthy fats and fibre, such as peanuts, almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or flaxseed; avoid adding sugar or sweetened yogurt.

Pair the meal with a side salad made from cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, and lemon, and eat the salad or protein first.

Avoid having sabudana khichdi on an empty stomach; have it after a balanced meal or alongside protein and vegetables.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating and monitor your glucose response to identify a portion size that works for you.
