Calories in Chicken Biryani
One plate of chicken biryani (about 250 g) has roughly 400-500 calories, or around 180 calories per 100 g. The final number depends heavily on how much oil or ghee is used, the rice-to-chicken ratio, and whether the chicken is cooked with skin. Restaurant and wedding-style biryani tends to sit at the higher end of the range.

FAQ
Still Wondering About SlimAI
Chicken biryani can fit a calorie-deficit routine in controlled portions. A single 250 g plate at around 450 calories is a reasonable meal; the trouble usually comes from second helpings, extra oil and rich sides like raita made with full-fat yogurt or fried accompaniments.
Use less oil or ghee, choose skinless chicken breast, increase the ratio of chicken and vegetables to rice, and keep the portion to one cup or one small plate. Home-cooked biryani made this way can come in 20-30% lighter than restaurant versions.
Usually yes. Mutton and beef cuts used in biryani tend to carry more fat than skinless chicken, so the same plate can run 10-20% higher in calories. Prawn and vegetable biryani are typically a little lower.
