Roti to biryani. Counted.
Track Indian food without guessing.
Katori knows your soya chaap, dal makhani, masala dosa, chole bhature and palak paneer.
Snap your thali. Katori identifies the dishes, estimates portions, and calculates calories and macros, built specifically for Indian food.
Built for roti, dal, paneer, biryani, dosa, and everything in between.
Generic trackers were trained on sandwiches and salads. Point them at a thali and they guess. Katori is an Indian food calorie counter built the other way round, starting from a dish database made for desi meals, so the numbers match what you actually ate.
Soya chaap
Logged as grilled chickenPlant protein with its own macros, nothing like chicken
Paneer
Logged as tofuMore than triple the calories of tofu
Ghee
Not logged at allAbout 112 calories a tablespoon, invisible to most trackers
And when Katori is not sure, it asks. One tap to confirm, two to correct.
We checked 11 Indian dishes and found the published numbers are often wrong. See the data audit.

How it works
Three steps. No spreadsheet energy.
An Indian macro tracker that does the arithmetic for you: calories, protein, carbs and fat, from one photo.
- 01
Snap the plate
Snap it, scan a barcode, or add it by hand. Katori reads every dish at once, no logging one ingredient at a time.
- 02
See your whole day
Calories, macros, and your thali balance ring, updated the moment a meal goes in.
- 03
Set goals that fit you
Targets built around how you actually eat, not a template borrowed from a Western diet.
Accurate when it can be. Honest when it cannot. Kind either way.
Why Katori
Built different on purpose.
Built for the food you actually eat.
- Roti isn't bread.
- Dal isn't lentil soup.
- Paneer isn't tofu.
- A katori isn't a cup.
Barcode when you want it
Packaged snack? Scan the barcode. Home-cooked thali? Snap it. Katori does both.
Streaks that forgive
Miss a day and the streak bends, not breaks. Built around consistency, never shame.
Private by design
Your meal photos are analyzed and discarded, never stored. No ads, no selling your data, ever.
Two taps, not twenty
Confirm in one tap, correct in two. Logging a meal takes seconds, not a spreadsheet.
The app
See Katori in action
One photo of your thali, and Katori reads every dish on it, works out the portions, and keeps your macros honest all day.
The receipts
We checked the numbers. Most of the internet is wrong.
Nutrition sites disagree wildly on Indian food. We rebuilt the numbers from the recipe up, and published where the common figures fall apart.
| Dish | Commonly quoted | Katori |
|---|---|---|
| Soya chaap protein | 18 to 20 g | about 9 g |
| Dal makhani | 90 to 300 cal | 220 cal |
| Paneer butter masala | 180 to 350 cal | 360 cal |
| Roti | 68 to 140 cal | 110 cal |
| Aloo paratha | 150 to 400+ cal | 280 cal / medium (ghee) |
Every number traces to a stated recipe and a public source, USDA FoodData Central.

The founder
Built by someone who eats this food
Katori was built by Shivam Verma, an international student who got tired of guessing the macros in his mom's dal. Every tracker was built for a Western plate. So he built one for ours. Read the full story.
