Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 240 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 240 kcal for 1 katori, taken as 150 g (home style, onion-tomato gravy, no cream). Two come to roughly 480 kcal and three to 720 kcal. Per 100 g, matar paneer carries 160 kcal.
How much protein is in matar paneer?
8.0 g per 100 g, which works out to 12.0 g in 1 katori. That is 20% of the energy in this food, and ranks 9th of 28 in the paneer & vegetable curries group on this site.
Is matar paneer good for weight loss?
At 160 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 home style, onion-tomato gravy, no cream. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
