How two dishes are made comparable
- Both columns start from the same source — the per-100 g rows for paneer butter masala and butter chicken in the ಭಾರತೀಯ ಆಹಾರ ಸಂಯೋಜನೆ ಕೋಷ್ಟಕಗಳು 2017. Neither side is taken from a different database to win an argument.
- Each dish keeps its own serving weight: 1 katori at 150 g, 1 katori at 150 g. Forcing both onto a shared 100 g is what makes most food comparisons useless.
- Both rows are then scaled the same way and printed side by side, so the per-gram ranking and the per-plate ranking can visibly disagree — which, on Indian food, they routinely do.
Paneer Butter Ma 200 kcal/100 g × 150 g ÷ 100 = 300 kcal Butter Chicken 137 kcal/100 g × 150 g ÷ 100 = 206 kcal
How to read this
Per-100 g comparisons flatter whatever is eaten in small portions. Paneer Butter Masala is denser per gram, but people do not eat by the gram — paneer butter masala arrives as 1 katori and butter chicken as 1 katori, and that is where the real difference shows up.
Butter Chicken 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.
