How to consume dhokla, pastry filled with potatoes and peas (fried) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of dhokla and potato-pea pastry you consume. Smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Add Fiber
Incorporate high-fiber foods into your meal. Consider adding a salad with lettuce, spinach, or cucumber on the side, which can help slow down the absorption of sugars.
Pair with Protein
Include a source of protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or a handful of nuts to your meal. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing down the digestion of carbohydrates.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, prepare or choose dhokla made with whole grain flours or mixed flours rather than refined ones to improve the nutritional profile.
Healthy Fats
Include a small amount of healthy fats, such as avocado, olive oil, or a few seeds like chia or flaxseeds. These can further slow carbohydrate absorption.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Post-Meal Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk after eating. This can help lower blood sugar levels by promoting glucose utilization by muscles.
Mindful Eating
Practice mindful eating techniques, such as eating slowly and savoring each bite, to prevent overeating and improve digestion.
Meal Timing
Space out your meals and snacks evenly throughout the day to prevent large fluctuations in blood sugar levels.
Check Ingredients
When preparing or buying dhokla and pastries, check for added sugars or refined ingredients and opt for healthier alternatives whenever possible.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
