How to consume english indian dal tadka, white rice without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the amount of white rice and dal tadka consumed. Smaller portions can help manage glucose levels.

Choose Brown Rice or Quinoa

Substitute white rice with brown rice or quinoa, both of which have a slower impact on blood sugar levels.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or broccoli into your meal. These add fiber and reduce the overall impact on blood sugar.

Include Protein

Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, fish, or tofu. Proteins help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado slices or a small serving of nuts or seeds to your meal to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Opt for Lentils

If possible, use split peas or lentils instead of more starchy dals, as they tend to have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Avoid Sugary Beverages

Stick to water, unsweetened tea, or other non-sugar drinks during your meal to avoid additional spikes.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to help your body better process the food and manage blood sugar spikes.

Cook with Less Oil

Reduce the amount of oil used in cooking the dal tadka to lessen the calorie load without reducing flavor significantly.

Add a Salad

Start your meal with a small salad with a light vinaigrette to increase fiber intake and help manage glucose levels more effectively.
