6 Ways To Make Your Diabetic Meal Healthy And Tasty

1. Stuffed egg/chicken whole grain chapati

Having the same usual plain chapati with some side curry can be boring at times. Instead you can make your meal tasty, nutritious and filling by stuffing the chapati with some shredded eggs or chicken. For this you need some whole grain chapattis because whole grains are a rich source of dietary fibre which can help improve blood glucose levels and help in managing diabetes [1].

How to make: Knead the whole grain flour into a dough. Heat one tsp olive oil over medium flame and sauté the shredded eggs or chicken with onions, tomatoes, turmeric and chilli powder. Use a pinch of salt. Take small balls of chapati dough and stuff small amounts of the egg/chicken mixture in it and close it from all sides. Gently roll the chapatis and cook them on both sides. Your stuffed egg/chicken whole grain chapati is ready.
