Veg momos (steamed)

One serving of Veg momos (steamed) — 8 pieces — comes to 332 kcal, 10 g protein, 55 g carbs and 8 g fat. Scaled to 100 g it works out to 138 kcal and 4.2 g protein, which makes it not a meaningful protein source on its own for a street food item. That single serving is about 22.1% of a 1,500 kcal day and 16.6% 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 Veg momos (steamed) takes roughly 8,300 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 ₹80 a serving it costs about ₹160 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 street food category are Bread pakora (aloo), Chole bhature, Dabeli, Idli sambar plate (street/darshini) — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
