How to use this list

  • Weigh portions when you can. Home servings vary a lot and that is where calorie estimates go wrong.
  • Cooking oil decides many desi dishes. A karahi or fry adds 100 to 200 kcal per serving depending on oil, so treat curry numbers as a base, not the final total.
  • Pair this list with the calorie calculator, the macro calculator and the weight loss guides.
  • If you are comparing supplements, read the DRAP safety guide first.
