What one serving looks like
One katori of about 150 g of fish curry has one or two pieces of fish in a thin gravy.
Where it fits in a 1,200 to 1,600 kcal day
At 140 kcal, one serving is about 9 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 12 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. Fish is a lighter protein than mutton or butter chicken. A katori with rice or roti is a good dinner at around 140 kcal for the curry.

How cooking changes the number
The value shown is a USDA average for the dish. Frying the fish first adds a lot more calories than poaching it in the gravy.
A swap to try
Try Chicken curry. If you do not like fish, a chicken curry gives you a similar protein hit. Chicken curry (1 katori, about 150 g) comes to 161 kcal, which is 21 kcal more than 140 for fish curry, but it brings something different to the plate.
