However, the traditional recipe is usually high in calories and carbohydrates due to the use of sugar and cream. The dish is usually combined with roti\/naan or rice, which have a high glycemic index and can lead to hyperglycemic events.<\/p>\n<p>Optimise Your Paneer Butter Masala Recipe<br \/>\n\u2022 Try using low-fat or plant-based milk instead of cream to reduce the fat content in the gravy.<br \/>\n\u2022 Have a side of salad to reduce hunger.<br \/>\n\u2022 Follow the food flow: fibre (salad) > protein (paneer) > complex carbs (roti\/rice).<br \/>\n\u2022 Have a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar 5-10 minutes before the meal to help lower the meal&#8217;s glycemic index.<br \/>\n\u2022 Opt for Low-carb flour for the roti and portion control it to help manage glycemic load and prevent sugar spikes.<\/p>\n<p>Paneer Butter Masala is made from paneer, a cheese high in protein and calcium. It also contains a variety of spices, such as turmeric, cumin and coriander, which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Optimising the recipe for Paneer Butter Masala can enhance its health benefits and enjoy it guilt-free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nutrition"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.3) -
