Veg biryani
One serving of Veg biryani — 1 plate (300 g) — comes to 518 kcal, 9.6 g protein, 55.8 g carbs and 28.5 g fat. Scaled to 100 g it works out to 173 kcal and 3.2 g protein, which makes it not a meaningful protein source on its own for a restaurant plate item. That single serving is about 34.5% of a 1,500 kcal day and 25.9% 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 biryani takes roughly 12,950 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 ₹150 a serving it costs about ₹312.5 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, vegan, eggetarian. It works at lunch and dinner.
If you want variety without changing the macros much, the closest swaps in the restaurant plate category are Chole chawal (plate), Office tiffin: 3 roti + dal + sabzi, Rajma chawal (plate), Sambar rice (plate) — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
