What the numbers say
By its own figures this is reasonable protein for its calories; calorie dense, so the portion decides everything; a decent amount of fibre.
Protein is the number most Indian plates are short of. If a meal built around this lands under about 15 g, add curd, dal or eggs rather than changing the dish.
