How to consume Coconut Chutney, Rice Idli, Sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the rice idli, as rice can cause a significant spike in blood glucose levels. Opt for smaller servings to minimize the impact.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein with your meal to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates. Consider adding a side of paneer or a boiled egg.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of healthy fats, such as a sprinkle of flaxseeds or a few slices of avocado, to your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Mix with Vegetables

Increase the fiber content by adding non-starchy vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, or bell peppers to your sambar. Fiber can help moderate blood glucose levels.

Use Lentil-Based Idli

Consider using lentil-based idli batter, such as those made with urad dal, to decrease the carbohydrate content of the idli.

Opt for Millets

Replace some or all of the rice in your idli batter with millets like finger millet (ragi) or pearl millet (bajra), which have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after your meal to aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming the coconut chutney, rice idli, and sambar at different times rather than all at once to spread out the carbohydrate intake.

Add a Salad

Start your meal with a salad made with leafy greens and a light vinaigrette to add bulk and fiber to your meal, which can help manage blood sugar levels.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help improve your body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels.
