Parboiled (ukda) rice, cooked

One serving of Parboiled (ukda) rice, cooked — 1 katori cooked (50 g raw) — comes to 173 kcal, 3.9 g protein, 38.6 g carbs and 0.3 g fat. Scaled to 100 g it works out to 115 kcal and 2.6 g protein, which makes it not a meaningful protein source on its own for a grain & staple item. That single serving is about 11.5% of a 1,500 kcal day and 8.7% 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 Parboiled (ukda) rice, cooked takes roughly 4,325 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 ₹4 a serving it costs about ₹20.5 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 daily staple in most Indian kitchens.

If you want variety without changing the macros much, the closest swaps in the grain & staple category are Appam, Bajra roti (pearl millet), Brown / whole wheat bread, White bread — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
