Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Besan contains plant proteins. According to modern concepts, in case of raised uric acid levels, it is ok to take plant proteins in moderation.

The dietary recommendations for raised uric acid levels are simple:
* Eat fresh fruit, vegetables, whole wheat products every day.
* Enjoy low-fat milk and dairy products daily.
* Avoid meats such as liver, kidney and sweetbreads, which have high purine levels and contribute to high blood levels of uric acid. Selected seafood. Avoid the following types of seafood, which are higher in purines than others: anchovies, herring, sardines, mussels, scallops, trout, haddock, mackerel and tuna. Alcohol.
* Keep an eye on the purine content of food. Vegetables such as cauliflower, asparagus, spinach, peas and mushroom also contain a lot of purines.
* You can eat beans or lentils, which are moderately high in purines but are also a good source of protein. Organ and glandular meats. Avoid meats such as liver, kidney and sweetbreads, which have high purine levels and contribute to high blood levels of uric acid.
* Eat no more than 100g of meat, sausages, fish and poultry a day.

Let me know if I could help further. If you still need a diet plan let me know your ethnicity and I would guide you accordingly.
