How two dishes are made comparable
- Both columns start from the same source — the per-100 g rows for moong dal and chana dal in the இந்திய உணவுப் பொருள் கூறு அட்டவணைகள் 2017. Neither side is taken from a different database to win an argument.
- Each dish keeps its own serving weight: 1 katori cooked dal at 150 g, 1 katori cooked dal at 150 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.
Moong Dal 85 kcal/100 g × 150 g ÷ 100 = 128 kcal Chana Dal 120 kcal/100 g × 150 g ÷ 100 = 180 kcal
How to read this
Per-100 g comparisons flatter whatever is eaten in small portions. Chana Dal is denser per gram, but people do not eat by the gram — moong dal arrives as 1 katori cooked dal and chana dal as 1 katori cooked dal, and that is where the real difference shows up.
Chana Dal 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.

Why do the two comparisons disagree?
Because a per-100 g comparison flatters whatever is eaten in small portions. 1 katori cooked dal of moong dal weighs 150 g and 1 katori cooked dal of chana dal weighs 150 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.
