Aloo Gobi is a popular Indian dish made with potatoes and cauliflower. However, for people with insulin resistance, the high carb content of the dish can lead to blood sugar spikes. In this optimisation, we will explore ways to modify the dish to make it more blood sugar-friendly. However, the high glycemic index (GI) of potatoes and the starch content of the dish can lead to rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, which can cause hyperglycemia.
Optimising Aloo Gobi To Be A Glucose-Friendly Dish
• Pair aloo gobi with low and no-carb options. This includes rotis made of almond or lupin flour and cauliflower or black rice.
• Pair potatoes with beans and legumes (proteins) instead of grains (roti/rice) or veggies (gobi). For instance, aloo chat salad.
• Control portion sizes to 30-50g and check glucose responses.
Using low-carb substitutes, replacing cauliflower with beans or legumes and controlling portion sizes can make a big difference in blood sugar control. The high carb content of Aloo Gobi can lead to blood sugar spikes, especially when paired with high GI roti or rice. Follow these tips and enjoy stable blood sugar levels.
