What one serving looks like
One katori of about 150 g is smoky mashed roasted brinjal cooked with onion and tomato.
Where it fits in a 1,200 to 1,600 kcal day
At 121 kcal, one serving is about 8 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 10 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. It is a good low calorie sabzi because the brinjal does most of the volume. Eat it with two rotis and dal.

How cooking changes the number
Roasting the brinjal on flame uses no oil. The oil goes in with the onions and tomato, and brinjal can soak up a lot if you fry it.
A swap to try
Try Lauki sabzi. Lauki is even lighter and cooks more gently. Lauki sabzi (1 katori, about 150 g) comes to 69 kcal, which is 52 kcal less than 121 for baingan bharta.
