Where the calories come from
Like most Indian staples, it is mainly carbohydrate. Pairing it with curd, paneer, eggs, chicken or a protein-rich dal adds the protein it lacks.
How your portion changes it
| Portion | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Small cup | 100 ml | 68 kcal |
| Cup | 150 ml | 102 kcal |
| Glass | 200 ml | 136 kcal |
| Large mug | 300 ml | 204 kcal |
Sugar and milk are the variables. One teaspoon of sugar (about 4 g) adds about 16 kcal, so two cups a day with two teaspoons each is roughly 130 kcal from sugar alone.
