तक्त्यातील एका ओळीपासून एका नगापर्यंत
- Read the per-100 g row for khaman dhokla 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 160 kcal आणि 6.0 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 piece at 35 g (steamed besan cake with a light mustard tempering). 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: 160 × 35 ÷ 100 = 56 kcal प्रति नग. काहीही वर गोल केलेले, जुळवून घेतलेले किंवा सारखे केलेले नाही — दोन नग म्हणजे एका नगाच्या नेमके दुप्पट.
- 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.

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.

प्रश्न
How many calories are in 1 piece?
About 56 kcal for 1 piece, taken as 35 g (steamed besan cake with a light mustard tempering). Two come to roughly 112 kcal and three to 168 kcal. Per 100 g, khaman dhokla carries 160 kcal.
How much protein is in khaman dhokla?
6.0 g per 100 g, which works out to 2.1 g in 1 piece. That is 15% of the energy in this food, and ranks 13th of 29 in the snacks & street food group on this site.
Is khaman dhokla good for weight loss?
100 g मागे 160 kcal या हिशेबाने हे मधल्या श्रेणीत येते — भाग नजरेने न ठरवता मोजून घेतला तर तो कॅलरी-तुटीत बसतो. प्रथिने मध्यम आहेत, त्यामुळे पोट भरलेले राहावे म्हणून सोबत डाळ, दही किंवा मांसाहारी पदार्थ घ्या. कोणताही एकच पदार्थ आहार बनवत किंवा बिघडवत नाही; दिवसाची एकूण बेरीज महत्त्वाची.
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 steamed besan cake with a light mustard tempering. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.

Where this number comes from
From the composition tables, not re-checked against a named row. This site does not claim a carbohydrate basis for this figure. Either it is a hand-entered composite with no stored ingredient list to derive one from, or the named table row disagrees with what is published here by too much to say which basis the number is on.
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.
