What one serving looks like
One masala dosa of about 200 g is a big plate-sized crepe with a potato filling inside, usually bigger than the plain version.
Where it fits in a 1,200 to 1,600 kcal day
At 368 kcal, one serving is about 23 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 31 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. A masala dosa is a full meal. A large restaurant one can be more than the number shown, so it suits a weekend breakfast better than a daily one.
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.

How cooking changes the number
Restaurants spread a lot of butter or oil on the tawa. At home you can make it with a fraction of that.
A swap to try
Try Plain dosa. A plain dosa with extra sambar cuts the potato and the oil. Plain dosa (1 dosa, about 100 g) comes to 210 kcal, which is 158 kcal less than 368 for masala dosa.
