Jeera rice calories and macros

One katori of jeera rice (150 g) has roughly 215 calories, with about 4 g protein, 40 g carbohydrate, and 5.4 g fat. Jeera rice is plain rice tempered with cumin in ghee or oil, so it is basically a katori of rice plus the tempering fat, and that fat is the only real difference from plain rice. The rice contributes about 190 calories, and a teaspoon or so of ghee for the tadka adds the rest. That is why jeera rice lands about 20 to 25 calories above plain rice per katori, not dramatically more. Restaurants use a heavier hand with the ghee, which pushes a restaurant serving toward 260. The cumin itself adds flavour and trace nutrients but negligible calories. If you are tracking, treat jeera rice as plain rice plus one fat serving, and the honest lever, as always with rice, is the portion and the ghee, not the grain.
