Tandoori roti
One serving of Tandoori roti — 1 roti (50 g) — comes to 119 kcal, 4 g protein, 24.4 g carbs and 0.6 g fat. Scaled to 100 g it works out to 238 kcal and 8 g protein, which makes it a moderate protein source for a restaurant plate item. That single serving is about 7.9% of a 1,500 kcal day and 6% 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 Tandoori roti takes roughly 2,975 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 ₹15 a serving it costs about ₹75 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, vegan. It works at lunch and dinner.
If you want variety without changing the macros much, the closest swaps in the restaurant plate category are Chole chawal (plate), Dal chawal (plate), Office tiffin: 3 roti + dal + sabzi, Rajma chawal (plate) — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
