1 cup (240g) has about 300 calories.
Why estimates miss: Chana Masala is a multi-ingredient dish. Chickpeas make this fiber-rich, so it stays filling for the calories. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.

Based on the Atwater factors: 4 calories per gram of protein and carbohydrate, and 9 calories per gram of fat.
