What's in USDA's chicken curry
USDA's chicken curry is gravy-heavy: about 20% chicken, 40% vegetables and 40% curry sauce, with a little oil.
Per 100 g it also has 1.4 g of fiber.
What changes the number at home
- A bowl with more chicken pieces and less gravy has much more protein than USDA's value.
- Butter chicken and other creamy restaurant curries contain cream and butter, so they come in well above this.
- The oil in the masala is the hidden part. Each teaspoon adds about 41 kcal.
