Calories in 2 डोसे

The short answer

2 dosas, weighed

280kcal 2 dosas — 140 g in total — comes to about 280 calories, with 5.6 g protein, 42.0 g carbohydrate and 9.1 g fat.

Serving assumed: 1 plain dosa ≈ 70 g — cooked with about 1 teaspoon of oil on the tawa. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.

From a table row to one dosa

Read the per-100 g row for plain dosa 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 200 kcal आणि 4.0 g protein per 100 g.
Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 plain dosa at 70 g (cooked with about 1 teaspoon of oil on the tawa). 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: 200 × 70 ÷ 100 = 140 kcal per dosa. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two dosas 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.

per dosa   =  per 100 g  ×  serving grams ÷ 100
Plain Dosa         =    200 kcal ×   70 g ÷ 100  =  140 kcal
energy check       =  4P + 4C + 9F  ±15%  (±20% if fibre ≥ 6 g)

Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 280 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.

प्रश्न

How many calories are in 2 dosas?

About 280 kcal, taking one dosa as 70 g (cooked with about 1 teaspoon of oil on the tawa). That is 5.6 g protein, 42.0 g carbohydrate and 9.1 g fat across 140 g of food.

Is 2 dosas too much?

It depends entirely on the rest of the day. 280 kcal is roughly 14% of a 2,000 kcal day and 18% of a 1,600 kcal day. The honest answer is that 2 dosas rarely makes a meal on its own — what goes with it usually decides the total.

How long does it take to burn off 2 dosas?

Roughly 65 minutes of easy walking, 53 minutes of brisk walking or 23 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.
