Calories in Aloo matar: per serving and per 100 g

What one serving looks like

One katori of about 150 g of aloo matar is a tomato-based gravy with potato cubes and green peas.

Where it fits in a 1,200 to 1,600 kcal day

At 159 kcal, one serving is about 10 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 13 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. The peas add protein and fibre, so it is a better sabzi than plain aloo. Eat it with two rotis, not rice and roti.

How cooking changes the number

It is a gravy dish, so the oil and tomato base are where the calories are. Pressure cooking with less oil still gives good flavour.

A swap to try

Try Mixed vegetable sabzi. Mixed vegetable curry has more variety and a little less starch. Mixed vegetable sabzi (1 katori, about 150 g) comes to 129 kcal, which is 30 kcal less than 159 for aloo matar.
