Cornflakes with milk
One serving of Cornflakes with milk — 1 bowl — comes to 240 kcal, 7.2 g protein, 29.8 g carbs and 10.2 g fat. Scaled to 100 g it works out to 120 kcal and 3.6 g protein, which makes it not a meaningful protein source on its own for a grain & staple item. That single serving is about 16% of a 1,500 kcal day and 12% of a 2,000 kcal day, so it's more of a filler than a target-hitter on protein without much extra planning.
Walking off Cornflakes with milk takes roughly 6,000 steps, using the rough approximation of 0.04 kcal burned per step (a population-average estimate for a moderate walking pace, not a personalised number). At ₹18 a serving it costs about ₹50 for every 20 g of protein it delivers, which is a mid-to-high price for protein compared with dal, eggs or soya chunks. It fits nearly every Indian diet type, including vegetarian, Jain, eggetarian. It's typically eaten at breakfast. It's a packaged/processed item, worth checking the label against this estimate.
If you want variety without changing the macros much, the closest swaps in the grain & staple category are Appam, Bajra roti (pearl millet), Brown / whole wheat bread, White bread — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
