Bhel puri

One serving of Bhel puri — 1 plate (150 g) — comes to 276 kcal, 6 g protein, 45 g carbs and 8 g fat. Scaled to 100 g it works out to 184 kcal and 4 g protein, which makes it not a meaningful protein source on its own for a snack item. That single serving is about 18.4% of a 1,500 kcal day and 13.8% 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 Bhel puri takes roughly 6,900 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 ₹30 a serving it costs about ₹100 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's typically eaten at the evening snack slot.

If you want variety without changing the macros much, the closest swaps in the snack category are Aloo bhujia / namkeen, Boiled kala chana chaat, Potato chips (packet), Cream biscuit (Bourbon/Hide&Seek type) — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
