Health Goals Suitability

Weight Loss

At just 47.9 kcal per serving, this is an excellent choice for weight management. The low-calorie vegetables keep the energy density low.

Diabetes

With a low glycemic index of 50, this recipe supports stable blood sugar levels. The 2.2g fiber further slows glucose absorption.

Muscle Gain

Low protein content (1.9g 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 (0.5g) make this heart-friendly. Contains heart-healthy fats. Low sodium content is ideal for blood pressure management.

PCOS

Low GI (50) with 2.2g fiber supports insulin sensitivity — key for PCOS management.

Thyroid

No goitrogenic ingredients — generally safe for thyroid conditions. The spices aid digestion, which can be sluggish in hypothyroidism.

Portion Guidance

Weight Loss

1 Small Cup (~99.6g). A light, kcal-friendly portion. Pair with roti or salad for a complete meal under 300 kcal.

Muscle Gain

1 Small Cup (~99.6g) plus a protein-rich addition (100g paneer, 2 eggs, or 1 cup dal) to hit 25-30g protein per meal.

Diabetes

1 Small Cup (~99.6g). Pair with whole wheat roti (not rice) to lower glycemic load. Eat protein and fiber portions first, carbs last.

Meal prep friendly

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 (95.8-143.7 kcal).

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

Overcooking the vegetables

Why it matters: Overcooking destroys heat-sensitive vitamins (C, B-complex) and reduces fiber quality.

Fix: Cook vegetables until just tender. Add delicate vegetables (like spinach or capsicum) in the last 2-3 minutes.
