What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 bowl)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
Gut-wise, this one is heavy. The gravy has tomato, onion, ginger, garlic, and spices like haldi and garam masala, which can feel warming and may support digestion a bit, but the dish is very high in fat at 126.2g per serving and low in fibre at just 0.7g. That means it can sit heavy, especially if you eat it with oily naan or extra rice. If you’re having it, pair it with something light and fibre-rich like phulka, salad, or a cucumber-onion kachumber to balance the meal a little.
