Sabudana khichdi (peanut, ghee)
One serving of Sabudana khichdi (peanut, ghee) — 1 katori (150 g) — comes to 346 kcal, 4.1 g protein, 50.6 g carbs and 14.1 g fat. Scaled to 100 g it works out to 231 kcal and 2.7 g protein, which makes it not a meaningful protein source on its own for a grain & staple item. That single serving is about 23.1% of a 1,500 kcal day and 17.3% 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 Sabudana khichdi (peanut, ghee) takes roughly 8,650 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 ₹73.2 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 a vegetarian or eggetarian or non-vegetarian diet. It works at breakfast, the evening snack slot and dinner. It's commonly eaten on fasting days (Navratri/Ekadashi-style).
If you want variety without changing the macros much, the closest swaps in the grain & staple category are Aloo paratha, Appam, Bajra roti (pearl millet), Brown / whole wheat bread — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
