- Choose whole grains: Option for whole wheat chapati or brown rice instead of white rice.

- Lean protein: Choose chicken or paneer over fried options and avoid heavy cream-based dishes.

 

These are estimates, and the actual calorie content can vary based on portion sizes, ingredients, and methods of preparation.
