Roasted Makhana in Ghee by portion
Everything scales linearly from the 30 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. An em dash in this table means the source never determined that nutrient. It is not a zero, and roasted makhana in ghee is left out of any ranking or comparison for it rather than being sorted as though it carried none.
Recipe analysis: Recipe analysis. Built from an ingredient list, each ingredient taken from a sourced row in this dataset, divided by the finished weight.
Recipe used: 25 g plain makhana roasted in 5 g of ghee with sendha namak. Finished weight 30 g, one katori. The ghee is a sixth of the weight and about a third of the energy.
Read this with it: Energy on this row is the Atwater sum of the ingredients above, not an independent measurement. Change the ghee and everything moves. Its fibre figure inherits a known gap: the ICMR–NIN table never determined crude fibre for makhana, so the fibre shown here is understated and should not be read as a measurement. Every ingredient carrying fibre on this dish is unmeasured in its own source table, so that figure is shown as an em dash rather than as zero.
How roasted makhana in ghee is counted here
- The serving is the portion this food is actually eaten in — 1 katori, taken as 30 g — not an anonymous 100 g.
- Composition is read off a named row: Recipe analysis, 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 = 440 kcal/100 g × (30 g ÷ 100) = 132 kcal check = 4·P + 4·C + 9·F (±15%, ±20% high-fibre)
Where it sits on a fasting plate
Among the 25 entries in vrat dishes on this site, roasted makhana in ghee ranks 1 of 25 for energy density at 440 kcal per 100 g.
Protein supplies only 7% of its energy. Most of the vrat food list looks like this, which is exactly why വ്രതത്തിനിടയിലെ പ്രോട്ടീൻ 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.
Questions
Is roasted makhana in ghee 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 roasted makhana in ghee?
About 132 kcal for 1 katori, taken as 30 g (makhana roasted in ghee with sendha namak). That is 2.4 g protein, 19.2 g carbohydrate and 5.0 g fat. Per 100 g it carries 440 kcal.
Is roasted makhana in ghee filling, or just energy?
Protein supplies only about 7% of its energy, so treat it as fuel rather than as something that will keep you full. Its fibre has never been determined — the table it comes from prints a dash, and this site shows an em dash rather than a zero, because the two mean completely different things. It is left out of fibre comparisons rather than ranked last in them. 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.
