Is green plantain good for diabetics?

Honestly, if you cook it with lots of mustard seeds and curry leaves, it tastes almost like potato! It is a great way to satisfy those heavy carb cravings without getting a scolding from your doctor. Just don't deep fry it into plantain chips, okay?

It is highly economical compared to fancy low-carb grains you buy online. You can get raw plantain at any local subzi mandi for very cheap. Spend your saved budget on getting your HbA1c checked every three months instead of overpaying for exotic foods.

Green plantains are rich in resistant starch, which behaves more like soluble fiber and improves insulin sensitivity. My consulting physician confirmed that while it's a beneficial carb source, you still need to limit the portion size to around half a cup per meal to stay within safe glycemic limits.

My roommate's dad has diabetes and when he visited us, we made raw banana dry fry. Apparently, green plantains are low on the glycemic index, so they are much better than normal bananas. It actually tasted pretty decent with dal-chawal.

I am just trying to learn about diabetes-friendly cooking for my grandmother. I bought some green plantains today, but I am a bit confused—do we have to boil them completely to get the health benefits, or can we bake them? Any simple recipes would help.
