Our take

CleanPlate review

Frozen curd and cottage cheese kebab

Haldiram's Dahi Veg Kebab is a 300 g pack of 12 frozen kebabs made from yoghurt (59%) and Indian cottage cheese (25%), bound with chickpea flour, sunflower oil, arrowroot and spices.

CleanPlate scores it DA4. The D for nutrition is low: only 10 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by yoghurt, indian cottage cheese and chickpea flour), and almost no additives. The 4 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (10 g per 100 g) and sodium (520 mg per 100 g).
