It depends on the brand and formulation. Cheap chaap bulked with maida delivers 8 to 10g of protein per 100g. No-maida chaap can deliver anywhere from 13g to 19g depending on the wheat-gluten-to-soy-flour ratio the manufacturer uses. Protein Pantry's Tandoori Chaap lab-tests at 19g per 100g, which is at the top end of what is achievable in this category. Always read the label.

It varies by brand and formulation. A properly built clean chaap typically sits between 150 and 200 kcal per 100g. Protein Pantry's Tandoori Chaap is 169 kcal and Korean BBQ Chaap is 153 kcal per 100g. Once you deep-fry chaap or finish it in cream gravy, that can climb to 400 to 600 kcal per serving regardless of the base.

For most people, yes. The protein-to-calorie ratio is one of the best on a vegetarian shelf, and the high protein content supports satiety and muscle retention during a calorie deficit. Cooking method matters. Air-fried or grilled, not deep-fried.

No. Most soya chaap is built around vital wheat gluten, which is essentially pure wheat protein. People with celiac disease or gluten intolerance should avoid it.

On USDA reference firm tofu, the protein density is close (chaap 19g vs firm tofu 17g per 100g). The bigger difference is fat: chaap has 1.14g, firm tofu has 9g, both per 100g. Most Indian market tofu (Yotti's, Soyalicious) sits lower than the USDA reference, around 10 to 14g protein per 100g. Tofu wins for gluten-free diets. Both are complete proteins.

Frozen, six to nine months unopened. Once thawed, cook within 24 hours and consume the same day.
