McAloo Tikki burger
One serving of McAloo Tikki burger — 1 burger (146 g) — comes to 358 kcal, 8 g protein, 50 g carbs and 14 g fat. Scaled to 100 g it works out to 245 kcal and 5.5 g protein, which makes it not a meaningful protein source on its own for a fast food item. That single serving is about 23.9% of a 1,500 kcal day and 17.9% 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 McAloo Tikki burger takes roughly 8,950 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 ₹79 a serving it costs about ₹197.5 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, vegan, eggetarian. It works at the evening snack slot and dinner. 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 fast food category are Veg frankie (roti wrap), French fries, medium, Veg spring roll, Veg burger (local stall/canteen) — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
