Dosa (1 Piece) and Sprouts (1 Cup)

Reduce the dosa portion and pair it with a larger serving of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, cucumber, tomato, or cabbage.

Choose a thinner, smaller dosa made with more lentils and less rice; avoid adding sugar or potato filling.

Eat sprouts as a salad with lemon, cucumber, tomato, and unsweetened curd rather than in a sweet or fried preparation.

Add protein and healthy fat to the meal, such as paneer, egg, tofu, plain curd, or a small handful of almonds.

Start the meal with vegetables or protein, then eat the dosa and sprouts slowly; avoid seconds.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if medically appropriate.
