How to calculate calories in Chana masala
Multiply the calories per 100 g by your portion weight, then divide by 100. For the reference 250 g portion, the calculation is:

Reference portion: serving (250 g). This is an example amount, not a recommended portion. Weigh your food when possible: a cup, slice or piece can vary in size.
