Curated list
Low-Calorie Indian Foods
These 12 foods have the lowest calorie density (kcal per 100 g) in IRONSLOG's curated Indian food set — several are liquid or high-water-content dishes (buttermilk, lassi, sambar), which is exactly why they're low-calorie by weight, useful context if you're building a calorie deficit.
