Egg curry with roti is a delicious lunch/dinner favourite for many. Despite the savoury flavour of this meal, some factors need your attention when maintaining your blood sugar. Wheat flour used to make rotis has a high GI (above 80). Due to this, there is an elevated response and glucose is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, resulting in hyperglycemia. To regulate your blood sugar, you need to modify this meal.
Optimise your traditional egg curry and roti for better glucose levels
• Egg curry is protein-rich and salads are rich in carbs and fibre. Together, the meal has more fibre than protein. This makes it a healthy choice.
• Alternatively, you may use cauliflower rice or black rice. If you want to stick to roti, use almond flour or lupin flour.
• You may have egg curry with 30 grams of wheat roti to control the portion.
Egg protein has the highest biological value i.e. 100. This means the egg’s protein amount is consumed 100% by the body. In order to maintain the nutritional value of this meal and to maintain your blood glucose levels, you may consider adding cumin seeds and coriander for better results.
