పట్టికలోని ఒక వరుస నుండి ఒక సర్వింగ్కు
- Read the per-100 g row for besan chilla 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 176 kcal మరియు 8.2 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 2 chillas at 120 g (gram-flour pancakes cooked with a little oil). 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: 176 × 120 ÷ 100 = 211 kcal ఒక్కో సర్వింగ్కు. ఏదీ పెంచి చూపలేదు, సర్దుబాటు చేయలేదు, సమం చేయలేదు — రెండు సర్వింగ్లు కచ్చితంగా ఒకదానికి రెట్టింపు.
- 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.

Kept in kilocalories — the "calories" printed on a packet. Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate. Fibre is entered on its own line and is counted in neither the carbohydrate column nor the energy figure.
The 100 g column, kept for the record
Because every other site quotes it, and because you should be able to check our arithmetic against theirs.
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per 2 chillas (120 g) |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 176 kcal | 211 kcal |
| Protein | 8.2 g | 9.8 g |
| Carbohydrate (available) | 17.9 g | 21.5 g |

Where besan chilla sits in an Indian plate
Among the 14 breakfast entries on this site, besan chilla ranks 2nd for protein (8.2 g per 100 g) and శక్తి సాంద్రతకు 5వ (176 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is moong dal chilla at 8.5 g.
Protein supplies 19% 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 5.9 g per 100 g.
A realistic day matters more than any single dish. If you are building a meal, the thali builder adds several foods and their real servings together in one total.
ప్రశ్నలు
How many calories are in 2 chillas?
About 211 kcal for 2 chillas, taken as 120 g (gram-flour pancakes cooked with a little oil). Two come to roughly 422 kcal and three to 634 kcal. Per 100 g, besan chilla carries 176 kcal.
How much protein is in besan chilla?
8.2 g per 100 g, which works out to 9.8 g in 2 chillas. That is 19% of the energy in this food, and ranks 2nd of 14 in the breakfast group on this site.
Is besan chilla good for weight loss?
At 176 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 gram-flour pancakes cooked with a little oil. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.

Where this number comes from
సేకరించిన పదార్థాల ఆధారంగా చేసిన రెసిపీ విశ్లేషణ. ఇక్కడ కార్బోహైడ్రేట్ అంటే అందుబాటులో ఉన్న కార్బోహైడ్రేట్ — డైటరీ ఫైబర్ను మినహాయించి విడిగా ఇవ్వబడింది.
రెసిపీ మరియు వండిన తర్వాత బరువు: 45 g besan whisked with water and 15 g chopped tomato, spread on a tawa and cooked in about 7 g of oil. Finished weight 120 g, one chilla.
Confidence in the quantities: medium. There is a real assumption here about how much of something went in, but it sits inside a narrow normal range.
Source row: IFCT 2017 B001, Bengal gram, dal; IFCT 2017 D076, Tomato, ripe, local (Solanum lycopersicum). Energy on this row is the Atwater sum of the ingredients above, not an independent measurement, so it reconciles by construction — that is a property of the method and not evidence that the quantities are right. The ingredient weights are this site's assumption; the table rows behind each ingredient are not. Cooking fat is the largest single assumption here and is stated in the recipe rather than buried in the total. Onion is normally in a chilla and is not counted here, because this site carries no onion row with a citable code. It would add roughly a gram of carbohydrate per 100 g.
Every food on this site carries this label. What each one means, and how many foods sit behind each, is set out on the method page.
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.
