Chicken Biryani (1 Cup) and English Indian Gajar Halwa Pudding (1 Serving (200g))

Reduce the biryani portion and fill at least half the plate with non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, cauliflower, okra, eggplant, or salad.

Eat the chicken and vegetables first, then have the rice portion slowly; avoid seconds.

Choose biryani made with basmati rice, more chicken, and added vegetables, with less rice and minimal added oil.

Pair the meal with plain unsweetened yogurt or raita, and avoid sweetened drinks, juice, or sugary sauces.

Have a smaller serving of gajar halwa after a full meal rather than on its own; make it with less sugar and without sweetened condensed milk.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if this is safe for you.
