What goes into it
These numbers are worked out from a typical home recipe, so yours may differ - mostly with the oil. This version uses:
- Chicken (skinless, raw): 130 g
- Curd (whole milk): 30 g
- Cooking oil: 8 g
It finishes at about 130 g once cooked. Grilled, so it loses water rather than gaining it. Every 5 g (1 tsp) of oil or ghee you add puts on about 45 kcal.
