Veg Momos vs Veg Spring Roll
Both sides computed from the same table, at the serving each is actually eaten in.
The short answer
Which one is heavier
Per 100 g, veg spring roll is heavier — 250 kcal against 165 kcal for veg momos, about 52% more. Per real serving the picture changes: 6 momos of veg momos is 248 kcal, while 2 rolls of veg spring roll is 250 kcal, because the portions are not the same size. On protein, veg spring roll wins with 5.0 g per 100 g.

How two dishes are made comparable
- Both columns start from the same source — the per-100 g rows for veg momos and veg spring roll in the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017. Neither side is taken from a different database to win an argument.
- Each dish keeps its own serving weight: 6 momos at 150 g, 2 rolls at 100 g. Forcing both onto a shared 100 g is what makes most food comparisons useless.
- Both rows are then scaled the same way and printed side by side, so the per-gram ranking and the per-plate ranking can visibly disagree — which, on Indian food, they routinely do.
Veg Momos 165 kcal/100 g × 150 g ÷ 100 = 248 kcal Veg Spring Roll 250 kcal/100 g × 100 g ÷ 100 = 250 kcal
How to read this
Per-100 g comparisons flatter whatever is eaten in small portions. Veg Spring Roll is denser per gram, but people do not eat by the gram — veg momos arrives as 6 momos and veg spring roll as 2 rolls, and that is where the real difference shows up.
Veg Spring Roll 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.

Veg Spring Roll — 5.0 g per 100 g against 4.5 g. Per real serving that becomes 5.0 g in 2 rolls against 6.8 g in 6 momos.
Why do the two comparisons disagree?
Because a per-100 g comparison flatters whatever is eaten in small portions. 6 momos of veg momos weighs 150 g and 2 rolls of veg spring roll weighs 100 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.
