What goes into it

This is how 1 katori paneer bhurji is built in the sample diet charts. Each ingredient links to its own page.

IngredientAmountCalories (kcal)
Paneer50 g129
Tomato25 g5
Capsicum (Shimla mirch)25 g4
Groundnut oil4 g35
Total173
  • Oil: the groundnut oil is 35 kcal of the 173. Without the groundnut oil, 1 katori paneer bhurji would come to about 138 kcal.
  • Measure it: the oil is the part of this number you decide, so measure it with a spoon rather than pouring.
  • This paneer bhurji is made without onion, so it also fits a Jain day. The usual version adds onion.

Counting by the katori? These are the nearest dishes of the same kind, each with its own page.

How this was worked out

The page adds up the IFCT values for every ingredient at the weight used in the sample diet charts. 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).
