  "account": "When it comes to protein content, dry rajma and chole have noticeable differences. Dry rajma contains around 23-24g of protein per 100g, while chole has slightly less, with approximately 19g of protein in the same amount. However, once cooked, the protein disparity narrows significantly. A typical cooked serving of rajma (about one cup) provides roughly 13-15g of protein, while chole offers around 14-15g. The exact protein content depends on the variety, cooking method, and serving size, making the difference relatively small.",
