Singhara Atta (Water Chestnut Flour) by portion
Everything scales linearly from the 120 g serving. If your portion is bigger, so is the number.

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: Fibre on this row is crude fibre, not total dietary fibre, so it is not comparable with the fibre figures on the table-sourced rows and is probably an understatement. Energy is the Atwater sum of the paper's macronutrients, because the paper does not state one. The literature on this flour disagrees with itself: Beigh and colleagues, Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, 2020, report protein at 2.8 g rather than 8.0 g, though on a deliberately modified low-glycaemic-index flour after six months of storage. Treat the protein figure as the weakest number on this page.
How singhara atta (water chestnut flour) is counted here
- The serving is the portion this food is actually eaten in — 1 cup of flour, taken as 120 g — not an anonymous 100 g.
- Composition is read off a named row: Peer-reviewed composition study (Manisha and Punia D. Physicochemical properties and nutritional evaluation of wheat and water chestnut composite flour. International Journal of Chemical Studies, 2020, volume 8, issue 4, pages 1914 to 1919, Table 2), 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 = 359 kcal/100 g × (120 g ÷ 100) = 431 kcal check = 4·P + 4·C + 9·F (±15%, ±20% high-fibre)
Observances it appears in
Where singhara atta (water chestnut flour) shows up in the food customarily associated with an observance on this site. This is a description of common practice, not a rule.
Where it sits on a fasting plate
Among the 11 entries in vrat flours & grains on this site, singhara atta (water chestnut flour) ranks 2 of 11 for energy density at 359 kcal per 100 g.
Protein supplies only 9% 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 energy-dense enough that a small portion carries a lot, which is easy to miss when it is eaten by the handful through a fasting day.
ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳು
Is singhara atta (water chestnut flour) 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. On this site it appears in the food list for Sharad Navratri, Chaitra Navratri.
How many calories are in 1 cup of flour of singhara atta (water chestnut flour)?
About 431 kcal for 1 cup of flour, taken as 120 g (raw flour ground from dried water chestnut). That is 9.6 g protein, 91.9 g carbohydrate and 2.8 g fat. Per 100 g it carries 359 kcal.
Is singhara atta (water chestnut flour) filling, or just energy?
Protein supplies only about 9% of its energy, so treat it as fuel rather than as something that will keep you full. Fibre is low at 1.0 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.
