Calories in Indian food

Calories, protein, carbs and fat for everyday Indian food, in the portions people eat: a roti, a katori, a plate, a cup. Slate counts food from anywhere in the app. This section covers Indian dishes, because their numbers are the hardest to find.

Every number is worked out from a recipe in grams and the Indian Food Composition Tables (IFCT 2017). Each page shows the recipe, the arithmetic and the sources.
