What one serving looks like
Bhatura is a big puffed fried bread, about the size of a hand with fingers spread. One of about 80 g is the usual serving with a plate of chole.
Where it fits in a 1,200 to 1,600 kcal day
At 311 kcal, one serving is about 19 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 26 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. One bhatura with chole is a full meal and then some, so plan the rest of that day around it. It does not need to be off the table, it needs a spot.
Your own number depends on your height, weight, age and activity, so use the calorie calculator to find it, or read our guide to the calories in popular Indian foods.
If you are watching sugar or carbohydrate, see the diabetes diet chart for Indian meals. Similar foods: Naan, Aloo paratha and Puri.
How cooking changes the number
Refined flour dough, deep fried. The oil it absorbs is about 40 percent of its calories, which is what makes it so soft and so heavy.
A swap to try
Try Roti (chapati). Eat the chole with two rotis instead. You get the same dish without the deep frying. Roti (chapati) (1 roti, about 40 g) comes to 120 kcal, which is 191 kcal less than 311 for bhatura.
Who might want to watch it
Anyone with acidity, a fatty liver or high cholesterol often feels better skipping fried breads. Ask your doctor what suits you.

Your recipe will differ with how much oil you use.

These are averages. Packaged and restaurant versions differ, and the USDA tables describe foods as sold and cooked in the United States, so Indian home cooking can vary.
