Worth eatingThree ways to fix it
Ordered by what you give up.
Option 1 · Stop at six−265
Six is a snack. The second plate is where this stops being harmless.
Six puri is around 265 calories. Nobody eats six. The portion is the only real variable.
Taste cost: Willpower, not taste
Option 2 · More chana, less potato−20
Ask for the chana filling rather than potato.
Marginal on calories, meaningfully better on protein and fibre.
Taste cost: None
Option 3 · Skip the sweet chutney−60
Tangy pani only, no meetha chutney.
The sweet chutney is mostly jaggery and dates. The spiced water is where the flavour lives anyway.
Taste cost: Low
