How to consume english dal makhani, naan without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or paneer to your meal. Protein helps to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, which can help mitigate spikes.

Increase Fiber Intake

Include a side of vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or a mixed green salad. Fiber helps to slow down digestion and the absorption of sugar.

Opt for Whole Grains

Instead of traditional naan, consider having whole grain or whole wheat naan. Alternatively, you could choose a small portion of brown rice.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion sizes of both the dal makhani and the naan. Smaller portions mean fewer carbohydrates to process at one time.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats to your meal, such as avocado slices, a handful of nuts, or a drizzle of olive oil. Healthy fats can help slow the digestion of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help with digestion and regulate your blood sugar levels.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating. Physical activity helps to lower blood sugar levels post-meal.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew and savor your food. Eating slowly can prevent overeating and allow your body to better manage sugar absorption.

Monitor Carbohydrate Combinations

Combine your meal with foods like chickpeas or lentils that have a lower impact on blood sugar levels.

Use Herbs and Spices

Incorporate herbs and spices such as cinnamon or fenugreek into your meal, as some can have beneficial effects on blood sugar levels.
