Why veg biryani calorie numbers differ
Veg biryani is rice cooked with spiced vegetables such as cauliflower, beans, peas, carrot and potato, layered with fried onion. The oil or ghee in the masala and the fried onion are the main swing between kitchens, and a vegetable-heavy plate is less dense than a rice-heavy plate. Restaurant biryani is usually oilier than home biryani, so compare your plate with the portion shown.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 9% of the calories in 1 full plate of veg biryani.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 302 g per full plate. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
