Calories in 2 katori

The short answer

390kcal 2 katori — 300 g in total — comes to about 390 calories, with 37.5 g protein, 12.0 g carbohydrate and 21.0 g fat.

Serving assumed: 1 katori ≈ 150 g — home style onion-tomato gravy, on-the-bone chicken. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.

From a table row to one katori

Read the per-100 g row for chicken curry out of the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 — analysed on Indian samples, so Indian wheat and Indian milk are not swapped for American ones. It gives 130 kcal and 12.5 g protein per 100 g.
Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 katori at 150 g (home style onion-tomato gravy, on-the-bone chicken). That weight is the number other calorie sites decline to state, and it is where their answers stop being answers.
Multiply, linearly, and print the working: 130 × 150 ÷ 100 = 195 kcal per katori. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two katori are exactly twice one.
Reconcile the energy against its own macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. A row more than 15% away from 4P + 4C + 9F (20% above 6 g of fibre) stops the build rather than shipping.

per katori   =  per 100 g  ×  serving grams ÷ 100
Chicken Curry      =    130 kcal ×  150 g ÷ 100  =  195 kcal

Questions

How many calories are in 2 katori?

About 390 kcal, taking one katori as 150 g (home style onion-tomato gravy, on-the-bone chicken). That is 37.5 g protein, 12.0 g carbohydrate and 21.0 g fat across 300 g of food.

Is 2 katori too much?

It depends entirely on the rest of the day. 390 kcal is roughly 20% of a 2,000 kcal day and 24% of a 1,600 kcal day. The honest answer is that 2 katori rarely makes a meal on its own — what goes with it usually decides the total.

How long does it take to burn off 2 katori?

Roughly 91 minutes of easy walking, 74 minutes of brisk walking or 32 minutes of running for a 70 kg adult. Useful for scale — not a licence, since appetite rises with activity.

Nutrient values are averages for the stated preparation, based on the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN) and standard recipe analysis. Energy is reconciled against the macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. General information only — not medical or nutrition advice. Home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil, ghee and portion size; every value here is an average for a stated serving, with the assumption shown.
