Hi friends,
I am South Indian vegetarian and trying to watch my weight. I would like to know the calories in the common South Indian foods like sambar, rasam, dosa, adai, idli etc. Are there any tables available? Thanks, Lakshmi

  The calories in cooked food depends on how you cook it, how much oil you add, etc.
  Cooked white rice has about 200 calories per cup.
  An average size roti (no oil) is about 100 calories
  Dosa is about 100 calories each too without oil.
  Oil is about 50 calories (all of it fat calories) per teaspoon.

  Here's a document that lists quite a few SI foods.

  However, your most accurate measure will be by doing the calorie counting yourself since your recipe is likely to be differnt from others.

  Mallika Badrinath has written a cookbook in Tamil- Sakkarai Noikketra Unavuk Kurippugal (300 recipes for Diabetes)- and is available at http://innoconcepts.com/mallika.htm
  She has listed the calorie count, the cabohydrate, protien and fat content aor all the 300 recipes. She has also included some sugar free desserts.
