Ghee, paneer, makki, sarson, chole. Most of the staple dishes are GLP-1-friendly with portion adjustment.

What works

Paneer dishes (high protein), sarson da saag (greens), chana, rajma, dahi — all hit the protein target naturally.

What to moderate

Butter naan and laccha paratha — choose 1 roti or 1 missi roti instead of 2 stuffed parathas. Cream-based gravies — ask for less malai.

A balanced plate

1 katori sarson da saag + 1 makki roti + 100 g paneer + dahi + small portion chana. ~38 g protein, satisfying, traditional.
