Include a source of healthy fat, such as avocado, nuts, or seeds, which can slow the absorption of carbohydrates and stabilize blood sugar.

Add vegetables to your meal, such as a side of sautéed spinach or a salad, to increase fiber content, which aids in reducing sugar spikes.

Be mindful of the portion size of idly you consume to prevent excessive carbohydrate intake at once.

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and nutrient absorption.

If possible, make idly using whole grains or mixed lentils instead of solely rice to enhance its nutritional profile.
