What it takes to burn off 1 katori of kadai chicken
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 233 kcal, using MET values from the 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities. This is a scale check, not a licence — appetite rises with activity and the two do not cancel neatly.
Calculated as MET × 3.5 × 70 kg ÷ 200 kcal per minute. Full working on the method page, and the whole activity dataset at BurnLab.

Questions
How many calories are in 1 katori?
About 233 kcal for 1 katori, taken as 150 g (semi-dry with capsicum and onion). Two come to roughly 465 kcal and three to 698 kcal. Per 100 g, kadai chicken carries 155 kcal.
How much protein is in kadai chicken?
15.0 g per 100 g, which works out to 22.5 g in 1 katori. That is 39% of the energy in this food, and ranks 8th of 20 in the chicken, mutton, fish & egg group on this site.
Is kadai chicken good for weight loss?
At 155 kcal per 100 g it is mid-range — it fits a deficit if the portion is measured rather than eyeballed. 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 semi-dry with capsicum and onion. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
