What one serving looks like
One katori of about 150 g of kheer is a bowl of thick rice and milk pudding with a few almonds.
Where it fits in a 1,200 to 1,600 kcal day
At 196 kcal, one serving is about 12 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 16 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. One katori after a meal is a reasonable dessert, and it brings some protein from the milk. A large bowl or a second helping is where it adds up.

How cooking changes the number
Sugar and the type of milk decide the number. Using less sugar and letting the rice thicken it cuts calories without losing taste.
A swap to try
Try Rasgulla. Rasgulla is a smaller portion and easier to count. Rasgulla (1 piece, about 45 g) comes to 102 kcal, which is 94 kcal less than 196 for kheer.
