Health Goals Suitability

Weight Loss

At 90 kcal per serving, this can fit into a weight loss diet with mindful portion control.

Diabetes

With a low glycemic index of 47, this recipe supports stable blood sugar levels.

Muscle Gain

Low protein content (0g per serving) — not sufficient alone for muscle building. Combine with high-protein sides like paneer, eggs, chicken, dal, or a protein shake to reach 25-30g protein per meal.

Heart Health

Zero cholesterol and low saturated fat (1.7g) make this heart-friendly. Low sodium content is ideal for blood pressure management.

PCOS

Women with PCOS should pair this with fiber-rich vegetables and a protein source to improve the insulin response.

Thyroid

No goitrogenic ingredients — generally safe for thyroid conditions.

Portion Guidance

General

10 Grams (~10g) provides a balanced portion. Adjust based on your daily kcal target — track accurately in the Hint app.

Recipe Modifications

Lower fat

Reduce oil to 1 teaspoon and use an air fryer or non-stick pan. Steaming vegetables before adding retains flavor with less fat.

Boost protein

Add 50g paneer, a boiled egg, or a side of sprouted moong dal. Stirring in 1 tbsp of peanut butter also adds 4g protein.

Meal prep friendly

Oil stores well for 2-3 days refrigerated. Reheat on stovetop for best texture. Prepare ingredients in advance for quick weeknight cooking.

Common Mistakes

Using too much oil or ghee

Why it matters: Excess oil can double the calorie content without adding nutritional value.

Fix: Measure oil with a tablespoon instead of pouring freely. 1 tbsp = 120 kcal.

Not measuring serving size

Why it matters: The nutrition values are for 1 standard serving. Eating 2-3x the serving means 2-3x the kcal (180-270 kcal).

Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
