Questions
How many calories are in 1 katori?
About 188 kcal for 1 katori, taken as 150 g (boiled potato tempered with cumin in 1 teaspoon of oil). Two come to roughly 375 kcal and three to 563 kcal. Per 100 g, jeera aloo carries 125 kcal.
How much protein is in jeera aloo?
2.2 g per 100 g, which works out to 3.3 g in 1 katori. That is 7% of the energy in this food, and ranks 25th of 28 in the paneer & vegetable curries group on this site.
Is jeera aloo good for weight loss?
At 125 kcal per 100 g it is on the lighter side, so portion size is forgiving. Protein is low, so eat it alongside a protein source rather than on its own. No single food makes or breaks a diet; the total for the day does.
Why does this differ from other calorie sites?
Two reasons. First, most sites publish a per-100 g figure from a US database and leave you to guess what a roti or a katori weighs; this page states the serving weight up front. Second, home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil and ghee — the figures here assume boiled potato tempered with cumin in 1 teaspoon of oil. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
