Why chicken curry calorie numbers differ
Chicken curry is skinless chicken breast in an onion, tomato, ginger and garlic gravy with curd and whole spices. The oil used to brown the onions and the thickness of the gravy decide most of the variation, and bone-in thigh pieces with skin, which many homes prefer, would raise it. Count the pieces on your plate, not just the gravy.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 14% of the calories in 1 bowl of chicken curry.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 248 g per bowl. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
