Let’s just agree that lunch for someone managing diabetes isn’t just about eating light and healthy, it is about eating smart. The afternoon laziness hits harder when your blood sugar dips or spikes, and that’s where the right sabzi can come to your rescue. Who said sabzis made with seasonal vegetables have to be boring? In fact, some simple sabzis, made with regular pantry produce, can be delicious, healthy and so good for your health if you have diabetes. So, if you are a diabetic and struggle with what to eat every day, here are some simple yet delightful sabzis that come together quickly and are perfect for your afternoon lunches!
This sabzi is wholesome for a reason: Lauki is full of water, and fibre, and is super light on digestion. Add chana dal to the mix and you have a great protein and fibre combination that helps regulate blood sugar levels. You can temper it lightly with jeera, hing, haldi, and ginger, and make this dish mildly spicy and incredibly nourishing. Sprinkle some coriander and you’re good to dig in! It’s comforting without being too heavy, and perfect with a small serving of starch-free rice or rotis.
