How to read this
Per-100 g comparisons flatter whatever is eaten in small portions. Mutton Curry is denser per gram, but people do not eat by the gram — chicken curry arrives as 1 katori and mutton curry as 1 katori, and that is where the real difference shows up.
Mutton Curry carries more protein, which matters more than the calorie gap if you are trying to stay full. Both figures assume home cooking with a measured amount of oil; a restaurant plate of either can run 30 to 60% higher.
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.
