How to consume Dosa without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Ingredients

Opt for dosas made with whole grains like brown rice or millet instead of white rice to slow the release of glucose.

Add Protein

Incorporate protein-rich foods such as paneer, tofu, or lentils into the dosa batter or as a filling to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Fiber

Mix in vegetables like spinach, carrots, or bell peppers into the batter, or serve the dosa with a side of fiber-rich vegetables to slow glucose absorption.

Healthy Fats

Use healthy fat sources like avocado or a small amount of ghee or olive oil when cooking your dosa to help maintain steady glucose levels.

Portion Control

Keep your serving size moderate. Eating smaller portions can prevent large glucose spikes.

Balanced Meals

Pair your dosa with a side of yogurt or a small serving of nuts to create a more balanced meal with fats and proteins.

Hydration

Drink water before and during your meal to help slow down digestion and glucose release.

Avoid Sugary Sides

Skip sugary chutneys or sauces. Opt for tangy and spicy options like mint chutney or coconut chutney without added sugars.

Eat Slowly

Take your time eating to give your body a chance to process the food more gradually, which can help in reducing glucose spikes.

Monitor and Adjust

Pay attention to how your body reacts after eating dosas and make adjustments as needed. Using a glucose monitor can help you fine-tune your approach.
