May I ask what protein ingredients would be in a typical Punjabi diet?
I've been a vegetarian (by personal choice) for three and a half years now and try to eat a wide variety of foods and foods which are supplemented with iron, ie. "fake" meats. I also have savoury yeast flakes sometimes (B12), eat eggs and milk (though thinking about removing milk). For protein I tend to cycle through tofu, lentils (red lentils, I'm having trouble bonding with green ones!), chickpeas (I looooove chickpeas) and occasionally "fake" meats. I've tried quorn but I don't think it agrees with my tummy.
