How to consume Dosa, Idli without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein like a small serving of yogurt, cottage cheese, or a boiled egg alongside your dosa or idli to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber vegetables such as spinach, tomatoes, and bell peppers into your dosa or as a side salad. Fiber can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, prepare dosa and idli using whole grain or mixed grain batters rather than refined rice batter.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, or nuts to your meal. Healthy fats can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes. Consuming smaller portions of dosa or idli can help prevent large spikes in blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body process food more efficiently.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in light physical activity such as a short walk right before your meal to increase insulin sensitivity.

Fermentation Time

Allow sufficient fermentation time for your dosa and idli batter. Proper fermentation can reduce the impact on blood sugar levels.

Spread Out Carbs

If you're planning to have multiple dosas or idlis, space them out over a longer period rather than eating them all at once.

Monitor Toppings

Use lower-carb toppings and chutneys. Opt for coconut chutney or tomato chutney rather than high-sugar options.
