If you love Puran Poli but worry about its impact on your blood sugar, you’re not alone. Puran Poli is a traditional Indian sweet flatbread with a filling of chana dal and sugar and is made with wheat flour. This popular dish has a high glycemic index (GI), which means it can cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels. However, there are ways to enjoy Puran Poli without experiencing a spike in blood sugar.

Enjoy Puran Poli Without Spiking your Blood Sugar
• Have a small portion to keep your carbohydrate intake in check.
• Add ghee to the Poli to slow down the absorption of sugar and reduce the glycemic load.
• Eat it with a handful of nuts to add healthy fats and protein, which can further slow down the absorption of sugar.

When you consume high-GI foods like Puran Poli, your blood sugar levels can quickly spike, leading to hyperglycemia. This can be concerning for anyone who wants to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. However, making a few tweaks to your Puran Poli can help slow down the absorption of sugar and reduce the glycemic load.
