The short answer

2 servings, weighed

422kcal 2 servings — 240 g in total — comes to about 422 calories, with 19.7 g protein, 43.0 g carbohydrate and 19.0 g fat.

Serving assumed: 2 chillas ≈ 120 g — gram-flour pancakes cooked with a little oil. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.

From a table row to one serving

Read the per-100 g row for besan chilla out of the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 — analysed on Indian samples, so Indian wheat and Indian milk are not swapped for American ones. It gives 176 kcal and 8.2 g protein per 100 g.
Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 2 chillas at 120 g (gram-flour pancakes cooked with a little oil). That weight is the number other calorie sites decline to state, and it is where their answers stop being answers.
Multiply, linearly, and print the working: 176 × 120 ÷ 100 = 211 kcal per serving. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two servings are exactly twice one.
Reconcile the energy against its own macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. A row more than 15% away from 4P + 4C + 9F (20% above 6 g of fibre) stops the build rather than shipping.

Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 422 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.

Questions

How many calories are in 2 servings?

About 422 kcal, taking one serving as 120 g (gram-flour pancakes cooked with a little oil). That is 19.7 g protein, 43.0 g carbohydrate and 19.0 g fat across 240 g of food.

Is 2 servings too much?

It depends entirely on the rest of the day. 422 kcal is roughly 21% of a 2,000 kcal day and 26% of a 1,600 kcal day. The honest answer is that 2 servings rarely makes a meal on its own — what goes with it usually decides the total.

How long does it take to burn off 2 servings?

Roughly 99 minutes of easy walking, 80 minutes of brisk walking or 35 minutes of running for a 70 kg adult. Useful for scale — not a licence, since appetite rises with activity.

Nutrient values are averages for the stated preparation, based on the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN) and standard recipe analysis. Energy is reconciled against the macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. General information only — not medical or nutrition advice. Home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil, ghee and portion size; every value here is an average for a stated serving, with the assumption shown.
