Veg pulao calories and macros

One katori of veg pulao (150 g) has roughly 250 calories, with about 5 g protein, 42 g carbohydrate, and 6.5 g fat. Pulao is rice cooked with a little ghee, whole spices, and vegetables, so it sits between plain rice and biryani: lighter and simpler than biryani, but richer than plain rice because of the tempering fat. The rice does most of the work, and the ghee and the amount of it is the main variable. A light home pulao is near 220 a katori, while a restaurant pulao with more ghee and cashews climbs toward 300. Compared to biryani, pulao is usually the lighter option because it uses less fat and fewer layers, though the two overlap. It is a carbohydrate-led dish with modest protein, so it pairs well with a dal or a raita to round out the meal. As with all rice dishes, the honest levers are the portion and the ghee.
