How to consume english medu vada, masala dosa without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the medu vada and masala dosa. Smaller portions can help in managing blood glucose levels better.

Balanced Meal

Pair the medu vada and masala dosa with a source of protein and healthy fats. For example, you can have them with a side of Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts to slow down the absorption of glucose.

Fiber Addition

Include high-fiber vegetables like spinach, kale, or mixed greens as a side dish. Foods rich in fiber can help slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Healthy Substitutes

Opt for whole-grain alternatives when making dosa batter. You can try to use brown rice instead of white rice or include ingredients like quinoa in the batter.

Pre-Meal Activity

Engage in light exercise, such as a brisk walk, before your meal. Physical activity can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This practice can help you feel fuller sooner and prevent overeating.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Vegetable Stuffing

Add more non-starchy vegetables to your masala dosa filling. Vegetables like bell peppers, zucchinis, and tomatoes can add volume and nutrients without causing a large spike in glucose.

Spice it Up

Use herbs and spices like fenugreek, cinnamon, and turmeric in your dishes. Some of these spices can help in managing blood glucose levels.

Monitor Your Response

Keep a food diary to track how your body responds to different foods. This can help you identify patterns and make more informed dietary choices.
