How to consume dosa, english indian pongal rice without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a side of plain yogurt or cottage cheese when you eat dosa or pongal. Protein helps to slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include a small portion of nuts like almonds or walnuts. Healthy fats can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Add Vegetables

Turn your meal into a balanced one by adding non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers. These can help moderate the glucose spike.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, opt for dosas made from whole grains or mixed grains instead of refined flour. Whole grains digest more slowly.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal to help with digestion and absorption.

Limit Portion Size

Reduce the portion size of dosa and pongal rice you eat in one sitting to help control the rise in blood glucose.

Include Legumes

Add a small serving of lentils or chickpeas to your meal, as they have a slow-releasing effect on blood sugar.

Opt for Low-Sugar Chutneys

Avoid sugary chutneys or side dishes. Instead, go for options like mint or tomato chutney that have fewer sugars.

Consume Fiber

Include a fiber-rich side dish like a small salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes to slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after eating to help utilize the glucose more effectively.
