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
Pair with a small makki di roti rather than several; the greens are excellent for blood sugar, but go light on the added butter and ghee.
