How two dishes are made comparable
- Both columns start from the same source — the per-100 g rows for samosa and onion pakora 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 medium samosa at 80 g, 6 pieces at 60 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.
Samosa 320 kcal/100 g × 80 g ÷ 100 = 256 kcal Onion Pakora 315 kcal/100 g × 60 g ÷ 100 = 189 kcal
How to read this
Per-100 g comparisons flatter whatever is eaten in small portions. Samosa is denser per gram, but people do not eat by the gram — samosa arrives as 1 medium samosa and onion pakora as 6 pieces, and that is where the real difference shows up.
Onion Pakora 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.
