Egg biryani calories and macros

Real numbers for 1 plate (250 g), calculated from a stated recipe. We show our work below.

One plate of egg biryani (about 250 g) has roughly 340 calories, with about 13 g protein, 52 g carbohydrate, and 10 g fat. Egg biryani is one of the lighter meat-based biryanis, because boiled eggs add protein without the fat load of mutton or the volume of a full chicken portion. Most of the plate is basmati rice cooked with ghee and spices, with two boiled eggs layered in, so it sits close to a veg biryani on calories but with a bit more protein from the eggs. It is a common budget and vegetarian-adjacent choice, lighter than chicken or mutton biryani but more filling than plain veg. A home plate with modest ghee is near 300, while a richer restaurant version crosses 420. The rice and the ghee are the calorie drivers, as with any biryani; the eggs are the protein. For someone wanting biryani without the heaviness of red meat, egg biryani is a reasonable middle choice.
