Raw Banana (Kacha Kela), boiled by portion
Everything scales linearly from the 100 g serving. If your portion is bigger, so is the number.
| Portion | Grams | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × 1 medium | 100 g | 80 kcal | 1.2 g | 17.6 g | 0.2 g | 3.6 g |
| 2 × 1 medium | 200 g | 160 kcal | 2.4 g | 35.2 g | 0.4 g | 7.2 g |
| 3 × 1 medium | 300 g | 239 kcal | 3.6 g | 52.8 g | 0.6 g | 10.8 g |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 80 kcal | 1.2 g | 17.6 g | 0.2 g | 3.6 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: Kacha kela is the unripe cooking plantain, which IFCT files under vegetables rather than fruit, and it is not the ripe banana at E009 to E012. The starch has not yet turned to sugar, so it carries about 17.6 g of available carbohydrate against roughly 24 g for the ripe fruit. This site previously showed 105 kcal, which was the ripe-banana figure applied to the wrong food.
How raw banana (kacha kela), boiled is counted here
- The serving is the portion this food is actually eaten in — 1 medium, taken as 100 g — not an anonymous 100 g.
- Composition is read off a named row: Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN) (food code D063, Plantain, green (Musa sapientum)), 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 = 80 kcal/100 g × (100 g ÷ 100) = 80 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, raw banana (kacha kela), boiled ranks 3 of 9 for energy density at 80 kcal per 100 g.
Protein supplies only 6% of its energy. Most of the vrat food list looks like this, which is exactly why protein during a vrat is the guide people need most.
It is light enough that the portion is forgiving, which is rare on a vrat food list.
Questions
Is raw banana (kacha kela), boiled 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 medium of raw banana (kacha kela), boiled?
About 80 kcal for 1 medium, taken as 100 g (boiled plantain, a common vrat sabzi base). That is 1.2 g protein, 17.6 g carbohydrate and 0.2 g fat. Per 100 g it carries 80 kcal.
Is raw banana (kacha kela), boiled filling, or just energy?
Protein supplies only about 6% of its energy, so treat it as fuel rather than as something that will keep you full. Fibre is moderate at 3.6 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.
