What it takes to burn off 1 katori rajma of rajma curry
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 216 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 rajma curry sits in an Indian plate
Among the 20 dals & legumes entries on this site, rajma curry ranks 6th for protein (6.0 g per 100 g) and 5th for energy density (144 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is sukha chana at 8.0 g.
Protein supplies 17% of its energy — respectable, but a plate built only on this will run short. Dal, curd, paneer or eggs close the gap cheaply. Fibre is genuinely high at 5.8 g per 100 g.

Questions
How many calories are in 1 katori rajma?
About 216 kcal for 1 katori rajma, taken as 150 g (punjabi style with onion-tomato gravy and 1 teaspoon of oil per serving). Two come to roughly 432 kcal and three to 648 kcal. Per 100 g, rajma curry carries 144 kcal.

6.0 g per 100 g, which works out to 9.0 g in 1 katori rajma. That is 17% of the energy in this food, and ranks 6th of 20 in the dals & legumes group on this site.
Is rajma curry good for weight loss?
At 144 kcal per 100 g it is mid-range — it fits a deficit if the portion is measured rather than eyeballed. Protein is moderate, so pair it with dal, curd or a non-veg side to stay full. 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 punjabi style with onion-tomato gravy and 1 teaspoon of oil per serving. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
