How many calories are in 1 plate (2 bhature + chole)?
About 735 kcal for 1 plate (2 bhature + chole), taken as 300 g (the heaviest single plate in north indian street food). Two come to roughly 1,470 kcal and three to 2,205 kcal. Per 100 g, chole bhature carries 245 kcal.

Is chole bhature good for weight loss?
At 245 kcal per 100 g it is mid-range — it fits a deficit if the portion is measured rather than eyeballed. 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 the heaviest single plate in north indian street food. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
