Questions
How many calories are in 1 plate?
About 353 kcal for 1 plate, taken as 150 g (tapioca pearls with peanuts and ghee — a fasting food that is not light). Two come to roughly 705 kcal and three to 1,058 kcal. Per 100 g, sabudana khichdi carries 235 kcal.
How much protein is in sabudana khichdi?
3.5 g per 100 g, which works out to 5.3 g in 1 plate. That is 6% of the energy in this food, and ranks 9th of 14 in the breakfast group on this site.
Is sabudana khichdi good for weight loss?
At 235 kcal per 100 g it is mid-range — it fits a deficit if the portion is measured rather than eyeballed. 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 tapioca pearls with peanuts and ghee — a fasting food that is not light. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
