Calories in a Katori of Kheer: What the Records Show

By NYUS Inc. · Published 27 October 2026

Kheer has no row in the food tables this guide uses, so this page does not invent a number for it. It shows what the two datasets do give: the SR Legacy table of USDA FoodData Central has ready-to-eat rice, tapioca and vanilla pudding records and a condensed milk record, each with the portion weights printed on its record page; IFCT 2017, the Indian Food Composition Tables from ICMR-NIN, has no kheer, payasam, rabri, shrikhand or pudding row (we searched all 585 PDF pages), but it has the ingredient rows for raw rice, roasted wheat vermicelli, cow milk and buffalo milk, with 6 regions each. The pudding records are nearest rows, not kheer, and no number here is a recipe.

The short answer

There is no kheer number in either dataset. The nearest SR Legacy row, ready-to-eat rice pudding, prints 108 kcal per 100 g, which is about 99 kcal for its printed 0.5 cup (92 g) and 162 kcal for 150 g, the katori weight in NYUS's own food list (our assumption). Ready-to-eat tapioca pudding prints 130 kcal per 100 g (about 143 kcal for a 110 g container) and condensed milk 321 kcal per 100 g (about 123 kcal for 1 fl oz, 38.2 g). By IFCT 2017 Table 1 (raw, per 100 g, 6 regions each), rice is 356 kcal, roasted wheat vermicelli 340, cow milk 73 and buffalo milk 107. Our reading: a kheer's calories depend on the milk, the amount of rice or vermicelli and the sugar, none of which a pudding record tells you, so weigh your own ingredients if you can.

SR Legacy: per portion

Each figure is our arithmetic: kcal per 100 g times the grams in the portion, divided by 100, rounded to the nearest kcal with half rounding up. Every portion weight is printed on the SR Legacy record page.

The sums: rice pudding 108 × 92 / 100 = 99.36, so 99 kcal; tapioca pudding 130 × 110 / 100 = 143, so 143 kcal; vanilla pudding 130 × 110 / 100 = 143, so 143 kcal; condensed milk 321 × 38.2 / 100 = 122.622, so 123 kcal. Protein, fat and carbohydrate are the same arithmetic on the per 100 g figures, rounded to 0.1 g with half rounding up.

Other portions printed on the SR Legacy records

The sums: rice pudding 172 g: 108 × 172 / 100 = 185.76, so 186 kcal; rice pudding 113 g: 108 × 113 / 100 = 122.04, so 122 kcal; rice pudding 142 g: 108 × 142 / 100 = 153.36, so 153 kcal; rice pudding 28.35 g: 108 × 28.35 / 100 = 30.618, so 31 kcal; tapioca pudding 97 g: 130 × 97 / 100 = 126.1, so 126 kcal; vanilla pudding 97 g: 130 × 97 / 100 = 126.1, so 126 kcal; condensed milk 306 g: 321 × 306 / 100 = 982.26, so 982 kcal.

A katori: a weight that is ours

The SR Legacy records print no katori. NYUS's own food list uses 150 g for one katori of rice kheer or seviyan kheer. That weight is our assumption, not a measurement and not a dataset value, and the pudding rows below are nearest records, not kheer. Weigh yours and scale from the per 100 g column.

The sums: rice pudding 150 g: 108 × 150 / 100 = 162, so 162 kcal; tapioca pudding 150 g: 130 × 150 / 100 = 195, so 195 kcal; vanilla pudding 150 g: 130 × 150 / 100 = 195, so 195 kcal.

IFCT 2017: the ingredient rows

IFCT 2017, Table 1 (Proximate Principles), per 100 g edible portion. IFCT 2017 says all its data except poultry and egg is for raw food (PDF p. 27), so the rice and vermicelli are dry, uncooked rows. IFCT prints energy in kilojoules; kcal is our conversion at 1 kcal = 4.184 kJ, rounded to the nearest kcal with half rounding up. All four rows are averages of 6 regions. These are ingredient rows only; this guide does not add them into a kheer, because the quantities in a kheer are in neither dataset.

The conversions: A015 1491 / 4.184 = 356.36, so 356 kcal; A024 1423 / 4.184 = 340.11, so 340 kcal; L002 305 / 4.184 = 72.90, so 73 kcal; L001 449 / 4.184 = 107.31, so 107 kcal.

What stands out in the numbers

• Per 100 g, SR Legacy: condensed milk 321 kcal, then the tapioca and vanilla pudding records at 130 and the rice pudding record at 108.
• Per 100 g, IFCT, raw: rice 356 kcal, roasted wheat vermicelli 340, buffalo milk 107 and cow milk 73.
• Milk rows differ. IFCT prints 6.58 g of fat and 449 kJ for buffalo milk (L001) against 4.48 g and 305 kJ for cow milk (L002) per 100 g, as printed.
• The SR Legacy rice pudding record (168782) prints 3.23 g of protein, 2.15 g of fat and 18.4 g of carbohydrate per 100 g.

Why these are reference rows, not your kheer

• Nearest rows, not kheer. SR Legacy 168782, 169614 and 169608 are named ready-to-eat puddings. None is named kheer or payasam, and none says what milk, sweetener or flavour was used beyond the record name.
• Dry rows. The IFCT rice and vermicelli rows are raw, uncooked weights, so a spoon of cooked kheer is not a spoon of them.
• The records' own notes. The record pages mark the energy and carbohydrate of the four SR Legacy records "Calculated", the protein and fat of the three pudding records "Analytical", and carry no note on the condensed milk protein and fat.
• Portion sizes are the record's. A katori or cup you serve may be bigger or smaller; weigh when you can.
• For a packaged product, the pack wins. This page uses no pack labels.

How to log it so the numbers hold

• Log by weight. A 200 g bowl (our example weight, not a dataset value) on the SR Legacy rice pudding record is 108 x 200 / 100 = 216 kcal by our arithmetic.
• Prefer your own ingredients. If you know the milk, rice and sugar you used, log them separately from the ingredient rows and the sugar in our spoon guide.
• Say which row you used. If you log a kheer against a pudding record, note it, and swap to your own figure as soon as you have one.
• Do not mix datasets inside one day. If you log a milk from IFCT, keep to that row for the same dish.

Where NYUS fits (our app)

We make NYUS, so read this as ours. NYUS is an AI fitness and nutrition coach in early access on Android, with no ads and no data selling. You log foods yourself by searching 8,900+ Indian and global foods or by barcode, and a weekly check-in adjusts your calories, macros and step goal once enough is logged. Barcode coverage of Indian packaged foods is not complete, so search by name when a scan finds nothing.

What this page leaves out

• A calorie, protein or fat target, and any claim about what these foods do to your weight or health: we have not looked up one for any person, so we give none. If you have a medical condition, ask your doctor or dietitian.
• Any named brand, pack label or FSSAI figure: not used, so the page does not mix label numbers with the records above.
• Kheer, payasam, rabri, shrikhand, rasmalai, halwa and other Indian sweets: no row in IFCT 2017 and none among the SR Legacy records used here, so no number.
• A kheer number built from milk, rice and sugar: the quantities are in neither dataset, so none is given.
• Nutrients beyond energy, protein, fat and carbohydrate, including sodium and sugars: not covered here.

The kJ to kcal conversions, the per portion figures, the sums, the rounding, the 150 g katori (NYUS's food list), the 200 g example, the comparisons and every sentence starting "Our reading" are NYUS's own arithmetic, assumption or opinion, not from IFCT or USDA.
