Assumed: 2 idlis ≈ 120 g — steamed, not fried — the lightest vrat breakfast on this list.
Samak Idli 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 × 2 idlis | 120 g | 150 kcal | 3.4 g | 30.1 g | 1.8 g | 4.4 g |
| 2 × 2 idlis | 240 g | 300 kcal | 6.7 g | 60.2 g | 3.6 g | 8.9 g |
| 3 × 2 idlis | 360 g | 450 kcal | 10.1 g | 90.4 g | 5.4 g | 13.3 g |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 125 kcal | 2.8 g | 25.1 g | 1.5 g | 3.7 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.
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: 45 g samak atta and 20 g curd, thinned with water, rested and steamed. No fat. Finished weight 120 g, two idlis.
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.
How samak idli is counted here
- The serving is the portion this food is actually eaten in — 2 idlis, taken as 120 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 = 125 kcal/100 g × (120 g ÷ 100) = 150 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, samak idli ranks 14 of 25 for energy density at 125 kcal per 100 g.
Protein supplies only 9% 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 sits mid-range for energy density, so a measured portion behaves predictably.
Questions
Is samak idli 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 2 idlis of samak idli?
About 150 kcal for 2 idlis, taken as 120 g (steamed, not fried — the lightest vrat breakfast on this list). That is 3.4 g protein, 30.1 g carbohydrate and 1.8 g fat. Per 100 g it carries 125 kcal.
Is samak idli 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 moderate at 3.7 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.
