How to consume Dosa, Idli without glucose spikes

Incorporate Protein

Add a source of protein to your meal, such as a side of boiled eggs or a serving of paneer. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Use a small amount of ghee or butter on your dosa or idli. Healthy fats can help reduce the overall impact on your blood sugar.

Add Vegetables

Pair your meal with a serving of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or broccoli. These can increase fiber intake, which helps moderate blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Pay attention to portion sizes. Consuming smaller portions can help keep blood sugar levels more stable.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, make your dosa or idli batter using whole grains like brown rice or incorporate lentils. These options are digested more slowly.

Use Fermentation to Your Advantage

Make sure your batter is well-fermented. The fermentation process can reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before your meal. Sometimes dehydration can exacerbate blood sugar spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or some light exercise after your meal to help your body manage glucose more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your food. Mindful eating can help prevent overeating and better manage your blood sugar response.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds and adjust your recipes or meal components accordingly.
