Bhindi sabzi (jain, no onion)
One serving of Bhindi sabzi (jain, no onion) — 1 katori — comes to 79 kcal, 2.1 g protein, 3.6 g carbs and 6.2 g fat.

That single serving is about 5.3% of a 1,500 kcal day and 4% 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 Bhindi sabzi (jain, no onion) takes roughly 1,975 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 ₹9 a serving it costs about ₹85.7 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. It's a common tiffin-box item.
If you want variety without changing the macros much, the closest swaps in the vegetable category are Beans thoran / poriyal (with coconut), Cabbage-peas sabzi, Sweet corn, boiled, Cucumber-tomato salad (no onion) — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
