What it takes to burn off 1 katori of prawn curry
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 173 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.
Calculated as MET × 3.5 × 70 kg ÷ 200 kcal per minute. Full working on the method page, and the whole activity dataset at BurnLab.
Where prawn curry sits in an Indian plate
Among the 20 chicken, mutton, fish & egg entries on this site, prawn curry ranks 11th for protein (13.5 g per 100 g) and 19th for energy density (115 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is chicken tikka at 25.0 g.
Protein supplies 47% of its energy, which is high for an Indian staple and the reason it keeps you full longer than the calorie count suggests. There is very little fibre here — 0.9 g per 100 g.

Questions
How many calories are in 1 katori?
About 173 kcal for 1 katori, taken as 150 g (coastal style with a light coconut gravy). Two come to roughly 345 kcal and three to 518 kcal. Per 100 g, prawn curry carries 115 kcal.
How much protein is in prawn curry?
13.5 g per 100 g, which works out to 20.3 g in 1 katori. That is 47% of the energy in this food, and ranks 11th of 20 in the chicken, mutton, fish & egg group on this site.
Is prawn curry good for weight loss?
At 115 kcal per 100 g it is on the lighter side, so portion size is forgiving. The protein share is high enough to be genuinely filling. 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 coastal style with a light coconut gravy. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
