Thepla (1 Piece)

Reduce the Thepla portion—for example, have 1–2 small Theplas instead of a large serving—and eat slowly.

Pair Thepla with a protein-rich side such as plain unsweetened yogurt, paneer, eggs, or tofu.

Add a generous serving of non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, tomato, spinach, okra, cauliflower, or salad before or alongside the meal.

Choose a Thepla made with more methi, besan, or other higher-fibre ingredients, and use less refined flour and added oil.

Avoid pairing Thepla with sweet chai, juice, sugary pickles, or sweetened yogurt; choose water, unsweetened tea, or plain buttermilk instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
