If you’re looking for a balanced diet, complex carbs are the key to eating better. Here are five Indian foods that are low in sugar.
Dal
Lentils are rich in complex carbohydrates, fibre, protein, and various essential nutrients. They contain a minimal amount of naturally occurring sugars.
Sprout Salad
Sprouts are germinated seeds like moong beans and chickpeas. They are rich in fibre, protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are a low-sugar food and mixing them with other ingredients in a salad is a great way to make a low-sugar meal.
Raita
Raita is made with curd which has natural sugars (lactose). You can add salt, cumin, coriander and mint to enhance its taste.
Dhokla
