Boiled Arbi (Colocasia)
per real serving, not per 100 g
What 1 katori carries
107kcal
1 katori — taken as 120 g — carries about 107 calories, with 4.0 g protein, 21.5 g carbohydrate and 0.2 g fat.
Per 100 g: 89 kcal and 3.3 g protein.

Assumed: 1 katori ≈ 120 g — boiled and peeled.
Boiled Arbi (Colocasia) by portion
Everything scales linearly from the 120 g serving. If your portion is bigger, so is the number.
| Portion | Grams | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × 1 katori | 120 g | 107 kcal | 4.0 g | 21.5 g | 0.2 g | 3.8 g |
| 2 × 1 katori | 240 g | 213 kcal | 7.9 g | 43.0 g | 0.5 g | 7.7 g |
| 3 × 1 katori | 360 g | 320 kcal | 11.9 g | 64.4 g | 0.7 g | 11.5 g |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 89 kcal | 3.3 g | 17.9 g | 0.2 g | 3.2 g |
Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate; fibre is listed separately and is in neither the carbohydrate column nor the energy figure. Energy is reconciled against 4P + 4C + 9F on every build.

Read this with it: Arbi carries more protein than most vrat tubers, at 3.3 g per 100 g, which is worth knowing on a starch-dominant fasting day. This is the corm, not the leaf and not the stem; IFCT lists those separately at C018, D040 and D041, and they are entirely different foods nutritionally.
How boiled arbi (colocasia) is counted here
- The serving is the portion this food is actually eaten in — 1 katori, taken as 120 g — not an anonymous 100 g.
- Composition is read off a named row: Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN) (food code F004, Colocasia (Colocasia antiquorum)), and the label on that row is printed above rather than hidden.
- Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate. Where a source publishes carbohydrate by difference, the fibre is subtracted here and the subtraction is stated.
- Energy is reconciled against Atwater factors on every build; a value that disagrees with its own macros does not ship.
serving kcal = 89 kcal/100 g × (120 g ÷ 100) = 107 kcal check = 4·P + 4·C + 9·F (±15%, ±20% high-fibre)
Where it sits on a fasting plate
Among the 9 entries in vrat vegetables & tubers on this site, boiled arbi (colocasia) ranks 2 of 9 for energy density at 89 kcal per 100 g.
Protein supplies 15% of its energy. That is respectable for the permitted list, but a whole day built on foods like this will still run short — see protein during a vrat.
It sits mid-range for energy density, so a measured portion behaves predictably.
Questions
Is boiled arbi (colocasia) eaten during a vrat?
It is commonly eaten during a phalahar vrat in most households. Customs differ by family, region and community — this describes what is usual, not what is required.
How many calories are in 1 katori of boiled arbi (colocasia)?
About 107 kcal for 1 katori, taken as 120 g (boiled and peeled). That is 4.0 g protein, 21.5 g carbohydrate and 0.2 g fat. Per 100 g it carries 89 kcal.
Is boiled arbi (colocasia) filling, or just energy?
Protein supplies about 15% of its energy, which is moderate. Pair it with curd, milk or nuts where your observance permits. Fibre is moderate at 3.2 g per 100 g. On a vrat that matters more than usual, because so much of the permitted food list is rapidly digested starch.

Practices are described as commonly observed; customs differ by family, region, community and sampradaya, and this site is not an authority on any of them. Food values come from the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN), the older ICMR–NIN tables, USDA FoodData Central, named composition studies and the shared ThaliFacts dataset, reconciled against Atwater factors on every build. Which source applies to which food is listed per food, and every source carries the date it was last checked. General information only — not medical or religious guidance. Fasting is not safe for everyone, particularly during pregnancy or with diabetes or other conditions. Speak to a doctor first.
