About this tool
Calorie and macro estimates for pani puri, vada pav, chaat, rolls and momos, with plate totals and share of your daily target.
The Indian Street Food Calorie Guide estimates the calories, protein, carbohydrate and fat in a plate of pani puri, vada pav, chaat, rolls, momos and other vendor food, using typical street portions rather than packet weights. Energy is reconciled against the Atwater factors of 4 kcal per gram of protein and carbohydrate and 9 kcal per gram of fat, and every total is shown with a plus or minus 20% band because street cooking has no fixed recipe. Useful for anyone tracking intake who eats out but cannot find these dishes in a Western calorie app.

Set Daily calorie target (kcal) and Body weight (kg), then use Pick a section to move between Chaat, Fried snacks, Pav and bread, Rolls and wraps, Momos and noodles, Full plates, South Indian and Drinks.
Tap the − and + buttons beside each item to build the plate; each serving is a typical vendor portion — six puris, one plate, one glass — rather than an arbitrary 100 g.
Plate total gives the kcal figure with an Estimate range covering roughly ±20%, then Protein, Carbohydrate and Fat with their share of energy, Share of your daily target and Brisk walking to match; Copy summary copies the itemised plate.
Servings match what a vendor hands over — six puris, one plate, one glass — not an arbitrary 100 g.
Protein, carbohydrate and fat reconcile to the calorie figure using the standard Atwater factors.
Every total carries a 20% band, because oil absorption and butter vary hugely between stalls.
A plate of six pani puri with potato and chana filling is roughly 210 kcal, or about 35 kcal per puri. The number rises if the filling is heavier on potato or the puris are larger, and sweet chutney adds sugar without much bulk.
Deep-fried, bread-heavy plates are highest. Chole bhature is around 800 kcal for two bhature with chole, and pav bhaji with butter comes in near 500 kcal, against 150 kcal for two idlis with sambar.
Steamed momos are one of the lighter options: six vegetable momos are around 250 kcal against roughly 380 kcal for the same six fried. They are still refined flour, so the protein content is low unless you choose the chicken filling, which carries about double the protein of the vegetable version — for a paneer-based option instead, the paneer roll under Rolls and wraps is the closer match.
Treat them as plus or minus 20%. Oil absorbed during frying, the amount of butter on the tawa and portion size all vary between vendors, and none of it is weighed. Use the figures to compare dishes and to spot the big items, not as a precise ledger, and see a registered dietitian if you are managing diabetes or another condition.
