Idli vs Medu Vada
दोन्ही बाजू एकाच तक्त्यावरून मोजल्या आहेत, आणि प्रत्येक पदार्थ प्रत्यक्षात ज्या प्रमाणात खाल्ला जातो त्या सर्व्हिंगवर.
The short answer
कोणता जड आहे
Per 100 g, medu vada is heavier — 234 kcal against 138 kcal for idli, about 70% more. Per real serving the picture changes: 1 medium idli of idli is 55 kcal, while 1 medu vada of medu vada is 94 kcal, because the portions are not the same size. On protein, medu vada wins with 8.0 g per 100 g.

दोन पदार्थांची तुलना कशी शक्य केली जाते
- Both columns start from the same source — the per-100 g rows for idli and medu vada in the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017. वाद जिंकण्यासाठी कोणतीही बाजू वेगळ्या डेटाबेसमधून घेतलेली नाही.
- Each dish keeps its own serving weight: 1 medium idli at 40 g, 1 medu vada at 40 g. दोन्हींना एकाच समान 100 g वर बसवणे हेच बहुतेक अन्नतुलना निरुपयोगी करते.
- नंतर दोन्ही ओळी एकाच पद्धतीने प्रमाणात आणल्या जातात आणि शेजारी शेजारी छापल्या जातात, त्यामुळे प्रति-ग्रॅम क्रम आणि प्रति-ताट क्रम उघडपणे वेगळे पडू शकतात — आणि भारतीय पदार्थांच्या बाबतीत ते नेहमीच पडतात.
Idli 138 kcal/100 g × 40 g ÷ 100 = 55 kcal Medu Vada 234 kcal/100 g × 40 g ÷ 100 = 94 kcal
हे कसे वाचावे
Per-100 g comparisons flatter whatever is eaten in small portions. Medu Vada is denser per gram, but people do not eat by the gram — idli arrives as 1 medium idli and medu vada as 1 medu vada, and that is where the real difference shows up.
Medu Vada 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.
प्रश्न
Which has more calories, idli or medu vada?
Per 100 g, medu vada is heavier — 234 kcal against 138 kcal for idli, about 70% more. Per real serving the picture changes: 1 medium idli of idli is 55 kcal, while 1 medu vada of medu vada is 94 kcal, because the portions are not the same size. On protein, medu vada wins with 8.0 g per 100 g.
Which has more protein, idli or medu vada?
Medu Vada — 8.0 g per 100 g against 4.6 g. Per real serving that becomes 3.2 g in 1 medu vada against 1.8 g in 1 medium idli.
दोन्ही तुलनांमध्ये फरक का पडतो?
Because a per-100 g comparison flatters whatever is eaten in small portions. 1 medium idli of idli weighs 40 g and 1 medu vada of medu vada weighs 40 g, so the per-gram ranking and the per-plate ranking are answering different questions. The serving row is the one that decides what you ate.
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.
