1 cup (200g) has about 200 calories.
Why estimates miss: Dal (Lentil Curry) is a multi-ingredient dish. A tempering of ghee can add 50-100 kcal, so ask how it was finished. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.
| Calories | 200 kcal |

About 22% of the calories come from protein, 56% from carbs and 22% from fat. That works out to about 100 calories per 100 g.
Based on the Atwater factors: 4 calories per gram of protein and carbohydrate, and 9 calories per gram of fat.
| Portion | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat |
