Questions
How many calories are in 1 piece?
About 270 kcal for 1 piece, taken as 90 g (stuffed bread dipped in besan and deep-fried). Two come to roughly 540 kcal and three to 810 kcal. Per 100 g, bread pakora carries 300 kcal.
How much protein is in bread pakora?
6.5 g per 100 g, which works out to 5.9 g in 1 piece. That is 9% of the energy in this food, and ranks 8th of 29 in the snacks & street food group on this site.
Is bread pakora good for weight loss?
At 300 kcal per 100 g it is energy-dense, so the portion decides everything. 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 stuffed bread dipped in besan and deep-fried. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
