The short answer

Serving assumed: 1 plate (bhaji + 2 pav) ≈ 270 g — roadside style with butter on the bhaji and the pav. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.

ഒരു പട്ടികയിലെ വരിയിൽ നിന്ന് ഒരു പ്ലേറ്റിലേക്ക്

Read the per-100 g row for pav bhaji 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 150 kcal and 3.5 g protein per 100 g.
Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 plate (bhaji + 2 pav) at 270 g (roadside style with butter on the bhaji and the pav). 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: 150 × 270 ÷ 100 = 405 kcal ഒരു പ്ലേറ്റിന്. ഒന്നും കൂട്ടി റൗണ്ട് ചെയ്യുകയോ ക്രമീകരിക്കുകയോ മിനുക്കുകയോ ചെയ്തിട്ടില്ല — രണ്ട് പ്ലേറ്റ് എന്നാൽ ഒരു പ്ലേറ്റിന്റെ കൃത്യം ഇരട്ടിയാണ്.
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.

per plate   =  per 100 g  ×  serving grams ÷ 100
Pav Bhaji          =    150 kcal ×  270 g ÷ 100  =  405 kcal
energy check       =  4P + 4C + 9F  ±15%  (±20% if fibre ≥ 6 g)

Questions

How many calories are in 2 plates?

About 810 kcal, taking one plate as 270 g (roadside style with butter on the bhaji and the pav). That is 18.9 g protein, 113.4 g carbohydrate and 28.6 g fat across 540 g of food.

Is 2 plates too much?

It depends entirely on the rest of the day. 810 kcal is roughly 41% of a 2,000 kcal day and 51% of a 1,600 kcal day. The honest answer is that 2 plates rarely makes a meal on its own — what goes with it usually decides the total.

How long does it take to burn off 2 plates?

Roughly 189 minutes of easy walking, 154 minutes of brisk walking or 67 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.
