Ganji (1 piece)

Reduce the Ganji portion and avoid having it as a standalone meal; pair it with a protein such as eggs, fish, chicken, tofu, or paneer.

Add plenty of non-starchy vegetables to the meal, such as spinach, okra, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, or green beans.

Include a fiber-rich side such as lentils, chickpeas, black beans, or a small portion of barley.

Choose plain unsweetened yogurt or curd as an accompaniment, rather than sweetened drinks or desserts.

Avoid adding sugar, jaggery, sweetened milk, or large amounts of fruit juice to Ganji.

Eat slowly and take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal if this is safe for you.
