Nutrition per Serving
Sugars shown are total sugars (naturally occurring + added) per serving and are approximate. For fruits and dairy this is mostly natural sugar; for sweets and many cooked dishes it reflects added sugar or jaggery.
Tips to Manage Blood Sugar
Roast or steam the brinjal instead of deep-frying it to keep the dish low-fat and low-GI; the curd's protein further slows sugar absorption.
