  • ​8 Indian breakfast ideas that don’t spike your blood sugar​


    Tasty breakfast ideas

    Let’s be real, breakfast sets the mood for your entire day. But if your first meal is all sugar and carbs with zero balance, it’s only a matter of time before the crash hits. You start off feeling full and happy, but then the energy dips, the brain fog rolls in, and suddenly you’re reaching for another snack before noon. This happens a lot when your breakfast causes a sugar spike. That’s when your blood sugar rises quickly, your body scrambles to fix it by releasing insulin, and before you know it, the crash kicks in bringing along hunger, irritability, and more cravings. But here’s the good news. You don’t have to give up Indian breakfasts to avoid sugar spikes. You just need to pick the right ones. Think fibre, protein, healthy fats — and smart carbs that release energy slowly. Here are some classic Indian breakfast ideas that tick all those boxes without messing with your blood sugar.

    istock

    Besan cheela with veggies

    This one’s quick, easy, and surprisingly filling. Besan, also called gram flour, is full of protein and way better for your sugar levels than maida or other white flours. Mix in some onions, spinach, carrots, basically whatever you find in the fridge, and you’ve got a tasty cheela. It’s light, easy to make, and actually keeps you full without making you crash an hour later.

    istock

    Moong dal chilla

    Softer than besan cheela but equally blood sugar-friendly, moong dal chilla is made by soaking and blending split yellow moong. It’s high in protein, easy to digest, and pairs well with mint chutney or a bit of homemade curd.

    istock

    Vegetable upma with extra fibre

    Classic suji upma can be tricky for some, but add in loads of veggies, a spoon of ghee, and maybe a bit of roasted chana dal or flax seeds, and it becomes a different dish. The fibre slows down the digestion of carbs, so you don’t feel sleepy or hungry an hour later.

    istock

    Oats idli

    Soft, fluffy, and fermented — oats idlis are a solid choice. They’re low GI, packed with fibre, and the fermentation helps your gut too. Pair them with coconut chutney or sambar for a full, balanced plate that’s kind to your blood sugar.

    istock

    Masala dalia

    Dalia doesn’t get enough love, but it should. Cooked savoury with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and loads of vegetables, it’s filling without being heavy. The best part? It keeps your sugar steady and gives you long-lasting energy.

    istock

    Boiled egg bhurji with roti or millet toast

    Sometimes the simplest meals are the best. Take boiled eggs, mash them up with onions, green chillies, and a little haldi, and serve with a small phulka or millet toast. It’s protein-heavy, low on carbs, and keeps you full for a good chunk of the morning.

    istock

    Methi thepla with curd

    This Gujarati staple isn’t just tasty, it’s smart. Methi helps manage blood sugar naturally, and when you make theplas with whole wheat or millet flour, they become even better. Add a spoon of curd on the side and you’ve got a breakfast that feels indulgent but doesn’t mess with your glucose levels.

    istock

    Poha with peanuts and veggies

    Poha on its own is light and easy, but throw in some roasted peanuts, a bit of grated coconut, and veggies like peas or capsicum, and it suddenly makes way more sense as a proper breakfast. You still get carbs, yes, but they don’t hit you all at once. Especially if you use the thick poha and don’t go wild with sugar or pile on the sev.
