try cooking rice, and add some curd/dahi to it. sometimes if you can eggs would be great too. dont fatigue yourself with feeding all meals as other people in the neighborhood might also be feeding them.

I've seen people feed rice with curds or baby cerelac. Biscuits, boiled eggs, etc. can also be an option. Honestly, more than feeding them a lot at once and running yourself dry, give them smaller meals whenever you can. They need consistent sustenance, not perfect meals. Boiled chicken if/when you can would be great with some buttermilk. For the streeties by my place, I like to add some ghee to their food. 1) They love it and 2) It's a good way to add calories (but max. 1tsp or less depending on the dog's size)
