Why baingan bharta calorie numbers differ
Baingan bharta is brinjal roasted over flame, mashed and cooked with onion, tomato, ginger and green chilli. Brinjal is mostly water, so most of the calories come from the oil used to fry the onion and masala, and brinjal soaks up oil if the cook is generous. A dhaba bowl can be shiny with oil while a home bharta may use just a spoon.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 21% of the calories in 1 bowl of baingan bharta.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 326 g per bowl. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
