Carbohydrate
How much carbohydrate is in Indian food?
110 dishes, by the portion Indian kitchens actually serve them in, with the carbohydrate given as a range and the source of every figure named beside it. Free to read, and you do not need an account.
Three things to know before you use a number off this page
It is a range, not a number. Two kitchens do not make the same thepla — one is bigger, one is rolled thinner. A single figure would claim a precision the measurement behind it does not have.
The portion is part of the figure. “One katori” and “one medium” mean what an Indian kitchen means by them. A figure without its portion is not a figure.
Your dietitian beats this table. If your child’s team has given you a figure for the roti your house makes, use theirs. Ours is a starting point for a kitchen nobody here has stood in.
110 dishes. Carbohydrate is grams per the portion named, as a range.

This is a log, and only a log
Kulraise never calculates or suggests an insulin dose, and has no route by which it could. Carbohydrate grams, a blood-sugar reading and a ratio from a doctor are the three inputs to that arithmetic; the app deliberately puts them where whoever does it can see all three, and does none of it. It is not a medical device and does not try to be one.
