5 protein-rich breakfasts better than a regular egg

Protein at breakfast improves fullness and glucose control. Aim 20–30 g by combining pulses, dairy, and grains. These options beat one egg’s protein yet stay desi, doable, delicious.

200 g Greek yogurt with ½ cup boiled chana, mint, cucumber, jeera, lemon. Protein climbs ~20–25 g, adds calcium and probiotics for gut and bones.

Two moong chillas stuffed with 50 g paneer provide ~22–28 g protein, fiber, and iron; pair with kachumber and pudina chutney for crunch and freshness.

Thick besan batter with onions, tomatoes, coriander; two large cheelas deliver ~16–20 g protein, plus folate and fiber. Add dahi to push toward the 20‑gram target.

Sprouted moong sautéed with mustard, curry leaves, onions, veggies; one hearty bowl reaches ~18–24 g protein with better micronutrients and lower glycemic impact than refined options.

100–150 g tofu scrambled with onions, tomatoes, peas, masalas; add one multigrain roti. Expect ~22–28 g protein plus iron, calcium, and fiber to stay full longer.
