What it takes to burn this off
Estimated for a typical 70kg (154 lb) adult — actual calories burned vary by body weight, pace, and fitness level. General reference only, not personalized advice.

Figures are for general reference, not personalized medical guidance; always confirm with a lab-tested label or professional for dietary decisions.
Source: Recipe-based estimate (~1g sugar per 30g) — a standard recipe adds no sugar; the trace amount is natural, from the rice and lentil flours. Total carbs: recipe estimate for a rice-flour and urad-dal dough, deep-fried. GI: high — rice flour is fast-digesting even though frying adds fat. (last verified 2026-10-21)
