Rabri calories
per katori, not per 100 g
The short answer
One katori, weighed
250kcal 1 katori — taken as 100 g — has about 250 calories, with 10.6 g protein, 26.8 g carbohydrate and 11.2 g fat. Two come to 500 kcal, three to 750 kcal.
Per 100 g, rabri carries 250 kcal and 10.6 g protein.

From a table row to one katori
- Read the per-100 g row for rabri 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 250 kcal and 10.6 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 katori at 100 g (milk reduced for hours with sugar). 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: 250 × 100 ÷ 100 = 250 kcal per katori. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two katori 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.

Rabri, entered by the portion
The kitchen ledger: one katori at 100 g, then two, then three. Every row is the row above multiplied — nothing is rounded up or quietly adjusted.

The 100 g column, kept for the record
Because every other site quotes it, and because you should be able to check our arithmetic against theirs.

What it takes to burn off 1 katori of rabri
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 250 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.
Where rabri sits in an Indian plate
Among the 24 sweets & mithai entries on this site, rabri ranks 4th for protein (10.6 g per 100 g) and 16th for energy density (250 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is peanut chikki at 13.9 g.
Protein supplies 17% of its energy — respectable, but a plate built only on this will run short. Dal, curd, paneer or eggs close the gap cheaply. There is very little fibre here — 0.0 g per 100 g.
A realistic day matters more than any single dish. If you are building a meal, the thali builder adds several foods and their real servings together in one total.
Questions
How many calories are in 1 katori?
About 250 kcal for 1 katori, taken as 100 g (milk reduced for hours with sugar). Two come to roughly 500 kcal and three to 750 kcal. Per 100 g, rabri carries 250 kcal.
How much protein is in rabri?
10.6 g per 100 g, which works out to 10.6 g in 1 katori. That is 17% of the energy in this food, and ranks 4th of 24 in the sweets & mithai group on this site.
Is rabri good for weight loss?
At 250 kcal per 100 g it is mid-range — it fits a deficit if the portion is measured rather than eyeballed. Protein is moderate, so pair it with dal, curd or a non-veg side to stay full. 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 milk reduced for hours with sugar. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.

ഉറവിടം വ്യക്തമാക്കിയ ചേരുവകളിൽ നിന്നുള്ള പാചകക്കുറിപ്പ് വിശകലനം. കാർബോഹൈഡ്രേറ്റ് എന്നത് ലഭ്യമായ കാർബോഹൈഡ്രേറ്റ് ആണ് — ഭക്ഷ്യനാരുകൾ ഒഴിവാക്കി പ്രത്യേകം നൽകിയിരിക്കുന്നു.
പാചകക്കുറിപ്പും പാകം ചെയ്ത ശേഷമുള്ള ഭാരവും: 330 g full-cream milk reduced over a slow flame to about a third of its weight, with 12 g sugar. Finished weight 100 g, one small katori.
Confidence in the quantities: low. This dish varies enormously by household and by shop. Read the recipe below as one plausible version, not as the dish — the frying oil or the reduction, not the ingredients, is what decides the energy.
സ്രോതസ്സ് വരി: IFCT 2017 L002, Milk, whole, Cow. Energy on this row is the Atwater sum of the ingredients above, not an independent measurement, so it reconciles by construction — that is a property of the method and not evidence that the quantities are right. The ingredient weights are this site's assumption; the table rows behind each ingredient are not. How far the milk is reduced is the whole recipe, and it is the least standardised step in Indian cooking. A three-fold reduction is assumed here; a four-fold one pushes protein and fat up by another third. The protein on this row rises well above the hand-entered figure it replaces for that reason alone. One ingredient here carries no table row of its own — sugar — so this dish inherits that gap and is no more checkable than that ingredient is.
Every food on this site carries this label. What each one means, and how many foods sit behind each, is set out on the method page.
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.
