Why masala dosa calorie numbers differ
Masala dosa is a crisp fermented rice and urad crepe folded around a spiced potato and onion filling. The oil or ghee spread on the tawa and the size of the dosa make the biggest difference, since restaurant dosas are often wide, thin and glossy with fat. The amount of potato filling and any butter added change the total too.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 13% of the calories in 1 masala dosa.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 210 g per masala dosa. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
