Desi Food Portion Calculator
Pick a food and how much you ate. You get a range, because two rotis from two kitchens are never the same.

Why these are ranges
A roti's calories depend on its size and thickness, a biryani's on the oil and the rice-to-meat ratio, and a daal's on its tarka. Restaurant portions are usually bigger and oilier than home ones. Giving you one exact number would be pretending.
How to weigh food, once
- Put an empty plate or katori on a kitchen scale and press zero.
- Add your usual portion and note the grams.
- Do it for a few meals you eat often. After a week you'll know your own portions by eye.
