Top Vegetarian Protein Rich Indian Foods


Hey, People! Specially Vegans Out There! This Post Is For Y'all!

Let us look at the top vegetarian protein rich Indian foods:


  • Cow Milk: It is a really good source of protein for Indians as it is easily available and doesn't need any preparation. One glass (250ml) of whole cow milk has around 8g of muscle building protein. It also has around 8g fat and 12g carbs. 3 glasses of cow milk a day will give you a whopping 24g protein! So gulp down that milk!


  • Moth Beans: Yes! commonly called as Matki in India, It is a great source of protein! 100g of moth beans are going to give you 23g of protein. But you gotta be careful as this 100g also contains 63g of carbs. A bad news for someone who's on a cut.

  • Chickpeas: Another great source of protein also called as Kabuli Chana as famously known in India. It has massive 19g of protein per 100g. Again high in carbs! 61g in 100g but out of which 17g is dietary fiber.

  • Soy Bean: Best source of protein for vegetarian Indians. whopping 36g in 100g but is also high in fat, almost 20g but not to worry as more than 15grams are unsaturated fats. It also has around 30grams of carbs per 100 grams.

  • Tofu: Another great source of vegetarian protein for Indians. Low in fat as well as carbs. Provides 8g protein per 100g. Quality source of protein I must say because of the low fat and carbs.

  • Kidney Beans: Very well known as Rajma, very low in fat. 24grams of protein per 100 grams and 60grams of carbs but out of which 25grams are dietary fiber and less than 3grams of sugar. Sounds Good!

  • Curd: Commonly known as dahi, It is a good source of casein protein or bedtime protein. It is slow releasing protein so the best time to be used is before bed. 11g protein per 100g and low in carbs and fat too. so what are you thinking? Go for it!

  • Lentils: 'Masoor ki Daal' what they call in India. Another good source of protein with moderate carbs. 9gm protein per 100grams.

  • Green Peas: Another good source of protein with low carbs and negligible fat. 5grams of protein per 100grams.


So, people, these are some of the top sources of vegetarian protein rich Indian foods available easily.
