Hello. It is of obvious to have the right macro-nutrient combination every meal based on your requirement (calorie surplus to gain weight). But, combining a resistance training /weight training workout for gaining weight is very essential. This is because people who need to gain weight need to put on lean muscle. Gaining muscles can lead to a gain in body weight. This leads to a healthy weight gain and not just fat buildup in the body.
Also, milk and fruits are not protein sources but will contribute carbs. So, try to include paneer, tofu, sprouts, eggs or meat for protein inclusion in your meals.

If you are still recovering from dengue, i would suggest keep the weight gain aside. Once you are back healthy I.e. your immunity is well and good, then you can focus on gaining back the weight. Which with a normal healthy lifestyle would be great for you.
