Prawn curry
One serving of Prawn curry — 1 katori — comes to 164 kcal, 12.8 g protein, 4.7 g carbs and 10.4 g fat. Scaled to 100 g it works out to 109 kcal and 8.5 g protein, which makes it a moderate protein source for a fish & seafood item. That single serving is about 10.9% of a 1,500 kcal day and 8.2% 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 Prawn curry takes roughly 4,100 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 ₹90 a serving it costs about ₹140.6 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 a non-vegetarian diet. It works at lunch and dinner. It's a genuinely high-protein choice for its calories.
If you want variety without changing the macros much, the closest swaps in the fish & seafood category are Catla fish curry, Fish curry (Kerala/coastal, coconut), Fish tikka (tandoor), Pomfret fry (tawa) — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
