Jeera Aloo calories
per katori, not per 100 g
The short answer
One katori, weighed
158kcal 1 katori — taken as 150 g — has about 158 calories, with 2.1 g protein, 20.9 g carbohydrate and 7.4 g fat. Two come to 315 kcal, three to 473 kcal.
Per 100 g, jeera aloo carries 105 kcal ਅਤੇ 1.4 g protein.

Serving assumed: 1 ਕਟੋਰੀ ≈ 150 g — 140 g of boiled potato tempered with cumin in about 1.5 teaspoons of oil — recomputed July 2026 from IFCT F006. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.

From a table row to one katori
- Read the per-100 g row for jeera aloo 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 105 kcal ਅਤੇ 1.4 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 katori at 150 g (140 g of boiled potato tempered with cumin in about 1.5 teaspoons of oil — recomputed July 2026 from IFCT F006). 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: 105 × 150 ÷ 100 = 158 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.

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.

Where jeera aloo sits in an Indian plate
Among the 28 paneer & vegetable curries entries on this site, jeera aloo ranks 27th for protein (1.4 g per 100 g) and 21st for energy density (105 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is paneer at 18.3 g.
Protein supplies only 5% of its energy, so treat it as an energy food rather than a protein food. There is very little fibre here — 1.6 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.
ਸਵਾਲ
How many calories are in 1 katori?
About 158 kcal for 1 katori, taken as 150 g (140 g of boiled potato tempered with cumin in about 1.5 teaspoons of oil — recomputed July 2026 from IFCT F006). Two come to roughly 315 kcal and three to 473 kcal. Per 100 g, jeera aloo carries 105 kcal.
How much protein is in jeera aloo?
1.4 g per 100 g, which works out to 2.1 g in 1 katori. That is 5% of the energy in this food, and ranks 27th of 28 in the paneer & vegetable curries group on this site.
Is jeera aloo good for weight loss?
At 105 kcal per 100 g it is on the lighter side, so portion size is forgiving. Protein is low, so eat it alongside a protein source rather than on its own. 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 140 g of boiled potato tempered with cumin in about 1.5 teaspoons of oil — recomputed july 2026 from ifct f006. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.

Where this number comes from
Recipe analysis from sourced ingredients. Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate — dietary fibre excluded and listed separately.
Recipe and finished weight: 140 g boiled potato, about 7 g of oil, cumin and salt. Finished weight 150 g, one katori.
Confidence in the quantities: medium. There is a real assumption here about how much of something went in, but it sits inside a narrow normal range.
ਸਰੋਤ ਕਤਾਰ: IFCT 2017 F006, Potato, brown skin, big (Solanum tuberosum), boiled. 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. Cooking fat is the largest single assumption here and is stated in the recipe rather than buried in the total. Recomputed in the July 2026 audit and now stored as the ingredient list above rather than as a typed figure. It published 125 kcal on 17 g of carbohydrate per 100 g, which backs out to a source potato near 18-22 g of carbohydrate against IFCT F006's 14.89 g — more potato than a 150 g katori can hold.
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.
