ఒక పట్టిక వరుస నుంచి ఒక కటోరికి
- Read the per-100 g row for dal fry 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 110 kcal మరియు 4.3 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 katori at 150 g (restaurant style with a heavier onion-tomato tempering than plain dal). 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: 110 × 150 ÷ 100 = 165 kcal ఒక్కో కటోరికి. ఏదీ పైకి రౌండ్ చేయలేదు, సర్దుబాటు చేయలేదు, సరళీకరించలేదు — రెండు కటోరీలు ఒక కటోరికి కచ్చితంగా 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.

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.

Where dal fry sits in an Indian plate
Among the 20 dals & legumes entries on this site, dal fry ranks ప్రొటీన్కు 14వ (4.3 g per 100 g) and శక్తి సాంద్రతకు 10వ (110 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is sukha chana at 8.0 g.
దీని శక్తిలో 16% ప్రొటీన్ నుంచి వస్తుంది — ఫర్వాలేదు, కానీ దీనితోనే కూర్చిన ప్లేట్ సరిపోదు. పప్పు, పెరుగు, పనీర్ లేదా గుడ్లు ఆ లోటును తక్కువ ఖర్చుతో పూరిస్తాయి. 100 g కి 2.0 g తో ఫైబర్ మధ్యస్థంగా ఉంది.
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 1 katori?
About 165 kcal for 1 katori, taken as 150 g (restaurant style with a heavier onion-tomato tempering than plain dal). Two come to roughly 330 kcal and three to 495 kcal. Per 100 g, dal fry carries 110 kcal.
How much protein is in dal fry?
4.3 g per 100 g, which works out to 6.4 g in 1 katori. That is 16% of the energy in this food, and ranks 14th of 20 in the dals & legumes group on this site.
Is dal fry good for weight loss?
At 110 kcal per 100 g it is on the lighter side, so portion size is forgiving. 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 restaurant style with a heavier onion-tomato tempering than plain dal. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.

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.
