5.5 g per 100 g, which works out to 6.6 g in 1 plate of 6. That is 9% of the energy in this food, and ranks 16th of 29 in the snacks & street food group on this site.
Is dahi puri good for weight loss?
At 250 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 puris filled with curd, chutney and sev. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
