Where fish curry sits in an Indian plate

Among the 20 chicken, mutton, fish & egg entries on this site, fish curry ranks 12th for protein (13.0 g per 100 g) and 20th for energy density (110 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is chicken tikka at 25.0 g.

Protein supplies 47% of its energy, which is high for an Indian staple and the reason it keeps you full longer than the calorie count suggests. There is very little fibre here — 0.8 g per 100 g.

Questions

How many calories are in 1 katori (1 piece)?

About 165 kcal for 1 katori (1 piece), taken as 150 g (bengali or coastal style with mustard or coconut base). Two come to roughly 330 kcal and three to 495 kcal. Per 100 g, fish curry carries 110 kcal.

How much protein is in fish curry?

13.0 g per 100 g, which works out to 19.5 g in 1 katori (1 piece). That is 47% of the energy in this food, and ranks 12th of 20 in the chicken, mutton, fish & egg group on this site.

Is fish curry good for weight loss?

At 110 kcal per 100 g it is on the lighter side, so portion size is forgiving. The protein share is high enough to be genuinely filling. 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 bengali or coastal style with mustard or coconut base. A restaurant version can be 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.
