11 Visual Hacks for Portion Control with Indian Meals

9. Keep roti portions visible and counted

Roti often travels in stacks and disappears quickly from sight. Make rotis visible and count them as you plate: put one roti on the plate, fold it or place it to the side, and resist adding more automatically. Rolling and stacking as you go creates a clear visual of how many you’ve had. For households used to piling rotis on the plate, this small change prevents the unconscious second or third roti. If rotis are the main carb, try pairing a single roti with a larger portion of vegetable to balance the plate. The visual cue of a lone roti can be surprisingly effective at curbing extras without feeling restrictive.
