At family-style restaurant meals (shared plates/thalis): one small thing you do to get enough protein without ordering extra?
At meals where dishes are shared (thali, party platters, family restaurants), what's one small, polite thing you do to end up with a protein-rich, reasonably sized plate without ordering a separate dish or seeming fussy? Examples: ask for extra dal/raita, pick kebabs first, or trade rice for rotis. Share what actually works for you.

Evidence-informed context for this discussion
Small tactics that work: quietly choose protein items first (kebabs, paneer, chana, dal), ask for a small extra bowl of dal or raita for the table, or swap a portion of rice for an extra roti + dal. Legumes + grains together improve protein quality, and curd/raita gives easy, high-quality protein. Polite lines: “Could we have a little extra dal/raita, please?” or “May I have two rotis instead of rice?”
