What it takes to burn off 1 katori of veg korma
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 225 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.

Questions
How many calories are in 1 katori?
About 225 kcal for 1 katori, taken as 150 g (restaurant style with cashew and cream). Two come to roughly 450 kcal and three to 675 kcal. Per 100 g, veg korma carries 150 kcal.
How much protein is in veg korma?
3.6 g per 100 g, which works out to 5.4 g in 1 katori. That is 10% of the energy in this food, and ranks 13th of 28 in the paneer & vegetable curries group on this site.
Is veg korma good for weight loss?
At 150 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 restaurant style with cashew and cream. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
