Calories in Chicken Karahi
A restaurant-style serving of chicken karahi (about 250 g) has roughly 400-450 calories, or around 170 calories per 100 g. Karahi is cooked in a generous amount of oil or ghee with tomatoes and green chillies, so the oil quantity is the single biggest factor — home versions made with measured oil can be noticeably lighter. Naan on the side adds 250-300 calories more.

FAQ
Still Wondering About SlimAI
Yes — karahi is built on chicken and a tomato-based masala, so it delivers about 14 g of protein per 100 g with very few carbs. A 250 g serving provides roughly 35 g of protein, which pairs well with a calorie-deficit routine if the oil is kept in check.
Measure the cooking oil instead of free-pouring, use skinless chicken, let the finished karahi rest and spoon off the surface oil, and eat it with one roti instead of naan. Those changes can trim 150 calories or more from a typical serving.
Per 100 g of edible food they are similar, but boneless karahi packs more actual chicken into the same weight, so a boneless plate can carry slightly more calories and more protein. The oil in the masala still matters more than the cut.
Point SlimAI's camera at your plate for a photo scan, say "chicken karahi with one naan" using voice logging, or search "chicken karahi" and set the portion in grams or cups. Log the naan or roti separately for an accurate meal total.
