Substitute some or all of the white rice idli with idli made from whole grains like quinoa or millet, which have a slower effect on blood sugar.

Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and metabolism, potentially reducing the glucose spike.

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, before eating to help improve insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake by muscles.

Skip or limit any sugary chutneys or sauces that may accompany your meal, as these can contribute to higher glucose levels.
