What one serving looks like
Puri is dough rolled small and deep fried until it puffs. Two puris of about 25 g each fit in the palm of one hand.
Where it fits in a 1,200 to 1,600 kcal day
At 205 kcal, one serving is about 13 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 17 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. Puri is a treat food for most plans, a once in a while plate rather than a daily one. Two puris with sabzi can still fit a 1,500 kcal day if lunch and dinner stay light.
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
Frying is the whole story here. The dough soaks up oil, which is why a puri has more calories than a roti of the same size, and why it is easy to eat four without noticing. Oil that has been reheated many times is worth avoiding.
A swap to try
Try Roti (chapati). A roti uses the same flour without the frying, so you can eat a larger portion for the same calories. Roti (chapati) (1 roti, about 40 g) comes to 120 kcal, which is 85 kcal less than 205 for puri.
Who might want to watch it
People with high cholesterol or a fatty liver diagnosis are usually told to cut back on deep fried foods. Follow what your doctor says.
