What Are The Other Options For Protein Rich Diet Excluding Diary And Meat?

Perhaps Manjula Aunty can help: High Protein - Manjula's Kitchen - Indian Vegetarian Recipes

 

Yes, she is really great. Love her efforts. Also, there is a young Indian fellow who runs a cooking channel called "Cooking-Shooking" but he is not as health conscious.

I also wrote a short post on the Goya Journal, an excellent food website, which you are free to check out.

 

Moong , Chana and other kinds of dal .
( The only problem is that they cause gas, maybe manjula aunty and umanga can help here )

Have you tried soya granules , I quite like them . I use them in pulav.
Tofu is a good source of protein too, I try not to eat it too much though

 

Dals (pulses) & grains are the rich source of proteins. you can add them in your curry, sambar, chutneys.

 

Absolutely. Lentils are full of proteins. Rajma, Kabuli Channa, Lobia(karamani/black eyed peas/cow peas), Green moong dal and Chana dal are the heaviest. Moong dal is the lightest for digestion. Apart from making a simple dal using these lentils, you could make pesarattu(dosa) out of green moong dal. Dosa is made even using lobia(i havent tried personally though). These recipes are simple. Soak the dal overnight and grind into batter with salt and spices. While cooking with dals, it will be good to use generous amounts of asafoetida and fresh ginger to balance the gas(vata)
