One katori chole is about 168 kcal, with 6.9 g of protein, 19 g of carbohydrate, 4.9 g of fibre and 6 g of fat. Everything below is worked out from the ingredients, one by one.
Chole: calories from ½ to 2 katoris
Each row is the whole dish at that amount, so you can read off what you ate.
| Amount | Calories (kcal) | Protein (g) | Carbs (g) | Fat (g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ½ katori chole | 84 | 3.4 | 9.3 | 3 |
| 1 katori chole | 168 | 6.9 | 19 | 6 |
| 1½ katoris chole | 252 | 10 | 28 | 9 |
| 2 katoris chole | 336 | 14 | 37 | 12 |
Numbers are for home cooking with the oil listed. How they were worked out is at the end of the page.
What goes into it
This is how 1 katori chole is built in the sample diet charts. Each ingredient links to its own page.
| Ingredient | Amount | Calories (kcal) |
|---|---|---|
| Kabuli chana (white chickpeas), USDA FoodData Central SR Legacy 173756 | 30 g | 113 |
| Onion (Pyaz) | 20 g | 10 |
| Tomato | 30 g | 6 |
| Ginger (Adrak) | 2 g | 1 |
| Garlic (Lehsan) | 2 g | 2 |
| Groundnut oil | 4 g | 35 |
| Total | 168 |
- Oil: the groundnut oil is 35 kcal of the 168. Without the groundnut oil, 1 katori chole would come to about 132 kcal.
- Measure it: the oil is the part of this number you decide, so measure it with a spoon rather than pouring.

How this was worked out
The page adds up the IFCT and USDA values for every ingredient at the weight counted for it. The weights are raw, as the tables measure them, and the oil is the oil in the recipe. Katori means a standard 150 ml bowl. Your cooking will differ a little, so treat the number as a good starting point and check it against how you feel and what the scale says.
Calories and nutrients are calculated from the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017, National Institute of Nutrition (ICMR), except kabuli chana, which uses USDA FoodData Central SR Legacy 173756 (raw chickpeas) because the Indian tables don't list it.
