6 High-Protein Indian Dishes That Are Surprisingly Good For Gym Lovers
In a rush? Can't cook? Most of us crave a filling, protein-rich meal after a tough workout. And while protein shakes are convenient, sometimes your body just wants real food. The good news? Plenty of Indian dishes pack a protein punch without even trying too hard. These familiar meals, often sitting quietly on the menu, can help you fuel up and meet your goals without breaking the bank or the routine. If you are serious about gains (or just want to stay full longer), this list is for you. Bonus: If you are not in the mood to cook, your favourite food delivery app is always one tap away. Here Are 6 High-Protein Indian Dishes That Are Surprisingly Good For Gym Lovers: 1. Chana Masala: The Everyday Protein Fix A spicy delight for your taste buds, chana masala is more than just comforting—it is a plant-based protein bomb. According to the USDA, 100 grams of cooked chana has about 19g of protein. That is enough to earn it a spot in your gym-friendly rotation. Pair it with a light roti or have it chaat-style. Either way, it is desi, filling, and loaded with muscle-supporting goodness. Here is a quick recipe for chana masala. 2. Soya Keema: A Juicy Meat-Free Alternative Never underestimate a good veg keema. Soya granules are naturally high in protein and seriously filling. When cooked with onions, tomatoes, and masalas, the result is a spicy, juicy post-workout meal that feels anything but bland. Team it with a multigrain roti, and you have got a well-balanced plate. If you try this version once, you might not miss the non-veg one. Follow this easy recipe for soya keema. 3. Moong Dal Chilla: Quick, Light And Protein-Rich Moong dal chilla is one of those underrated snacks that tick all the right boxes. It is light, speedy to cook, and high in protein. Just blend soaked dal with green chillies and ginger, add spices, and cook on a hot tawa. Add coriander chutney or stuff it with paneer for that extra boost. This is one of those meals that works for breakfast, lunch, or a 7 pm hunger crisis. Here is how to make moong dal chilla. 4. Palak Paneer: Classic, Creamy And Full Of Gains Palak paneer is not just about iron and comfort. Paneer is a powerhouse of protein, and when combined with spinach, it turns into a wholesome meal that does not derail your fitness goals. One bowl with roti or brown rice can fill you up without making you feel sluggish. Here is the full recipe for palak paneer. 5. Besan Cheela With Paneer: The Gym-Ready Pancake If moong dal is not your thing, besan cheela is your next best bet. Made from chickpea flour and packed with vegetables, this chilla is high in protein, low in carbs, and endlessly customisable. Add grated carrots, chopped onions, capsicum, or sweet corn for extra texture and nutrition. Stuff it with paneer to double down on the protein. Perfect for days when you want something light but not boring. Follow this recipe for besan chilla with paneer. 6. Egg Curry: Your Post-Workout Comfort Bowl Boiled eggs on their own can be dull but put them in a masala-rich curry and suddenly you are looking at a proper meal. As per the USDA, one large egg gives you about 6g of protein. Toss in a thick masala base, and this humble dish becomes ideal for post-gym indulgence. Too tired to boil and sauté at night? Order in from your favourite delivery app. Here is an easy egg curry recipe. So, go on. Cook these protein-packed Indian dishes at home or order them in. Your taste buds (and muscles) will thank you.

Well, if you struggle to give your kids the right nutrition, then try these protein-rich tiffin options that are not just healthy but are super delicious at the same time. So, follow us through some simple tiffin ideas for kids. Why is protein essential for kids? There's no denying that protein is one of the most essential nutrients for kids because it helps in their rapid growth and development by building strong muscles, repairing tissues, and producing important enzymes and hormones. Protein also plays a key role in strengthening the immune system and maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails. In fact, during the early years, kids required adequate protein intake to ensure proper physical and cognitive development, energy levels, and overall health. Moong Dal Cheela With around 8–10 g protein per 2 cheelas, this dish is perfect for anytime hunger and makes for a healthy option for tiffin. These savory lentil pancakes are made from ground moong dal, a great plant-based protein. Easy to digest and loaded with fiber, moong dal cheelas can be stuffed with paneer or vegetables for added nutrition. Serve with chutney or curd for a wholesome meal. Paneer Paratha Paneer is a rich source of complete protein. Stuffing whole wheat parathas with crumbled paneer and mild spices makes them a filling and tasty tiffin. Pair with homemade pickle or curd for a perfect combination of protein and calcium. One serving of this paratha has around 12–14 g of protein. Boiled Egg and Vegetable Sandwich With 10–12 g protein per sandwich, whole wheat bread combined with chopped boiled eggs and lightly sautéed vegetables offers a balanced mix of protein and fiber. Eggs are complete proteins and a tiffin-friendly choice that keeps kids full and energized. Sprouts Salad or Chaat Made from sprouted moong, chana, or matki, this colorful, crunchy salad is packed with plant protein, vitamins, and enzymes. Toss with lemon, chopped onions, cucumber, and a sprinkle of chaat masala for a tangy twist that kids will love. This chaat has about 8–9 g of protein per cup. Soya Chunk Pulao Soya chunks are among the richest plant-based protein sources. When cooked with rice and vegetables, they make a protein-packed, tasty pulao. Ideal for tiffin, soya pulao is filling and provides all the essential amino acids. This pulao has about 13–15 g of protein per serving. Peanut Butter and Banana Roll One roll has around 9–10 g of protein. To make this dish, use whole wheat roti or bread to make a roll with natural peanut butter and sliced bananas. Peanut butter is high in protein and healthy fats, while bananas add natural sweetness and energy. This combo makes for a quick and nutritious tiffin treat. Mini Besan Chillas with Curd Around 7–9 g protein per 3 mini chillas, this besan chilla is a great source of plant protein and iron. Mini besan pancakes with chopped veggies are kid-friendly and easy to eat. Serve with a side of curd to boost the protein content and improve digestion. Chickpea Cutlets Boiled chickpeas mashed with potatoes, herbs, and mild spices make protein-rich cutlets that can be pan-fried or baked.

‘Insult to Japanese culture': Viral video of Mumbai street vendor selling pink sushi sparks outrage
Once regarded as a niche delicacy served at luxury hotels and fine-dining restaurants, sushi has gradually become a part of mainstream food culture in India. This popular Japanese dish has been warmly embraced by Indian food enthusiasts, many of whom are now experimenting with their own versions by adding unique desi twists to suit local tastes. This culinary art form has made its way to the bustling streets of Mumbai. A street food stall in Ghatkopar is now serving fresh sushi straight off a thela (cart). However, it did not sit well with the Internet. In a viral video shared by the Instagram food page @thegreatindianfoodie, a street vendor is seen crafting sushi with impressive skill and care. The process begins with a sheet of nori (seaweed) placed on a traditional bamboo mat (makisu). A layer of pink-tinted rice is spread across the nori, then flipped over. The vendor then continues to add a generous drizzle of two different sauces, followed by fresh slices of cucumber and avocado. With a smooth roll of the makisu, the vendor shapes the sushi into the classic cylinder before slicing it into four even pieces. The sushi was served with all the traditional elements: pickled ginger, wasabi, soy sauce, and even chopsticks. Watch the viral video here: A post shared by thegreatindianfoodie (@thegreatindianfoodie) While many appreciated the creativity, some social media users questioned the authenticity of the dish's reinterpretation. 'Just wait for few days: Sushi stuffed with potato coated Besan, fried in oil, garnished with mayonnaise,' a user wrote. 'This should not be allowed. There should be food regulations on such things. This spoils the country's name and culture. Sushi making is an art that is perfected over the years by chefs and culinary experts. It cannot be reduced to Indian street food. This is not correct,' another user commented. 'It is an insult to the Japanese culture,' a third user reacted.
