Why fish curry calorie numbers differ
Fish curry is rohu cooked in a gravy of onion, tomato, ginger and garlic, soured with lemon and softened with curd. The oil in the masala is the main variable, and kitchens that shallow-fry the fish before simmering add noticeably more than kitchens that cook it raw in the gravy. Coconut-based curries in coastal homes are richer again.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 16% of the calories in 1 bowl of fish curry.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 254 g per bowl. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
