Why boiled rice calorie numbers differ
Boiled rice is parboiled rice cooked in water until soft, with nothing added. Cooked rice is mostly water, so the calories depend almost entirely on how much is on the plate, and a heaped restaurant plate can be much bigger than a home serving. Compare your plate with the portion shown, and add any ghee, dal or curry separately.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 13% of the calories in 1 full plate of boiled rice.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 300 g per full plate. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
