Questions
How many calories are in 1 katori jeera rice?
About 248 kcal for 1 katori jeera rice, taken as 150 g (cooked rice tempered with about 1 teaspoon of ghee per katori). Two come to roughly 495 kcal and three to 743 kcal. Per 100 g, jeera rice carries 165 kcal.
How much protein is in jeera rice?
3.0 g per 100 g, which works out to 4.5 g in 1 katori jeera rice. That is 7% of the energy in this food, and ranks 13th of 18 in the rice dishes group on this site.
Is jeera rice good for weight loss?
At 165 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 cooked rice tempered with about 1 teaspoon of ghee per katori. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
