Brief Answer:
Avoid milk products

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

To reduce LDL you need to avoid milk products like ghee, sweets, cheese, ice cream etc. Fats get converted to cholesterol in body.

Eating hygienic and clean foods also helps.

Otherwise no specific restriction is needed for peas, gram, beans, etc.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
