What one serving looks like
One katori of about 150 g of chicken curry has two or three pieces of chicken in a thin gravy.
Where it fits in a 1,200 to 1,600 kcal day
At 161 kcal, one serving is about 10 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 13 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. A katori of chicken curry with two rotis is a good protein dinner. It keeps you full for the evening and is easy on a calorie budget.

How cooking changes the number
The value shown is a USDA average for the dish. A home curry made with less oil, or with boneless pieces, is lighter than a restaurant one.
A swap to try
Try Roasted chicken breast. Plain roasted chicken breast has more protein for fewer calories, if you do not mind the plainer taste. Roasted chicken breast (1 small piece, about 100 g) comes to 165 kcal, which is 4 kcal more than 161 for chicken curry, but it brings something different to the plate.
Who might want to watch it
