Being a vegetarian, protein is severely lacking in my diet. "Dal" is what my wife says has protein but I am not every sure. We do have Paneer at least once a week (at home) so there is that. Since I don't even eat eggs, that option is also out of window.
I have proteinx powder in milk daily (approx 150 ml milk) to supplement protein but I am not sure if it even healthy to have it. I am not into intensive workouts so don't want whey protein etc.

Few months back I saw this thing Amul is selling...Buttermilk with 15gms protein. I even read some on this and found that the claim is actually true so unlike marketing gimmicks from many companies, this actually holds true. But seems this thing isn't available in general stores, never seen in Dmart and not even on quick commerce apps.
It seems it is only available in pack of 30 or so. So now way for me to try once or so.

I want to try it out and see if I can inculcate in my lifestyle. Where can I buy it and if you did try it, please suggest how it is.
 
Buttermilk taste awful, but their Protein Lassi Rose flavour chilled taste so good. They are practically never in stock, but their Stock notifications works so you won't miss out.
Amul recently introduced Kulfi with 10gram protein BTW. :)

They need to fix their distribution, they keep launching products that aren't widely available even in metros, they also launched a low cal kulfi this week that has 10g protein and costs 30rs.

If whey protein requires intensive workout to digest, then any form of protein can't be digested by that logic unless we do intensive workout be it from amul drinks. If you lead a normal non-sedentary life, half a scoop of whey wont do you any harm unless you specifically have a kidney disorder. If you dont want whey eat sprouted mung beans and black chickpeas.

@raksrules I would be very sceptical of any claims of protein. The best protein is something that we get naturally from food. If you are vegetarian, there are lots of nuts and seeds that can give you protien.

Dal, as you suspected, doesn't have much protein. Like @bssunilreddy suggested, groundnuts are a great source. And having a good gut is very, very important.

There are also a lot of foods that will limit the benefits offered by protein. Any sort of processed food should at best be avoided, and at least be consumed with caution. This includes packaged buttermilk.

Watermelon seeds are also good in protein. I would be happy to address any questions you may have. My knowledge comes from a lot of research on anti-aging, Parkinson's, and two decades worth of studying obesity and NAFLD.

I've been on the lookout for it since the time it was launched but haven't been able to get my hands on it. I was able to get Protein Curd but it tasted a bit chalky.
 
Super thick and drinking through the straw is not an option. Cut it and take it out in a bowl. Mix a bit of water to drink direct or mix boondi or cucumbers to make it into a raita.
15g protein for 25 bucks is a pretty good deal.

Check website often to see when it comes in stock. I prefer the lassi which is also super thick so need to cut and take it out.

I don't do workouts, as in I don't go to gym but on weekdays, I got to nearby garden which has a track and I do a 6 Km walk + Jog (5 Kms is Jog) and at night, I do casual walk for 2 Kms post dinner in building premises.

Consider adding peanut butter with added protein or protein supplement from cosmix/ whole truth, anyone can eat those easy to digest.

Amul protein buttermilk and protein curd doesn't taste normal, their bluberry protein milk is good.
 
Similar Protein Buttermilk is launched by Milky Mist as well for 20bucks. Not sure about the quantity of protein but there is not taste. It taste like plain buttermilk without any salt or spice.
