Is 3 katori too much?

It depends entirely on the rest of the day. 900 kcal is roughly 45% of a 2,000 kcal day and 56% of a 1,600 kcal day. The honest answer is that 3 katori rarely makes a meal on its own — what goes with it usually decides the total.

Serving assumed: 1 ਕਟੋਰੀ ≈ 150 g — restaurant style with butter, cashew paste and cream. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.

From a table row to one katori

Read the per-100 g row for paneer butter masala 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 ਅਤੇ 8.5 g protein per 100 g.
Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 katori at 150 g (restaurant style with butter, cashew paste and cream). 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 × 150 ÷ 100 = 300 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.

per katori   =  per 100 g  ×  serving grams ÷ 100

ਕੀ 3 ਕਟੋਰੀ ਜ਼ਿਆਦਾ ਹੈ?

ਇਹ ਪੂਰੀ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਬਾਕੀ ਦਿਨ ਉੱਤੇ ਨਿਰਭਰ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ। 900 kcal, 2,000 kcal ਵਾਲੇ ਦਿਨ ਦਾ ਲਗਭਗ 45% ਤੇ 1,600 kcal ਵਾਲੇ ਦਿਨ ਦਾ 56% ਹੈ। ਸਿੱਧੀ ਗੱਲ ਇਹ ਹੈ ਕਿ 3 ਕਟੋਰੀ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਘੱਟ ਹੀ ਪੂਰਾ ਖਾਣਾ ਬਣਦੀ ਹੈ — ਕੁੱਲ ਜੋੜ ਆਮ ਤੌਰ 'ਤੇ ਉਹ ਤੈਅ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਇਸ ਨਾਲ ਖਾਧਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।

3 ਕਟੋਰੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਕੈਲੋਰੀਆਂ ਸਾੜਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਕਿੰਨਾ ਸਮਾਂ ਲੱਗਦਾ ਹੈ?

Roughly 210 minutes of easy walking, 171 minutes of brisk walking or 75 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.
