| Size | Atta | Plain (kcal) | With 1 tsp ghee (kcal) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 20 g | 64 | 108 |
| Medium | 30 g | 96 | 140 |

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. 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).
