      Hi AArthi,

      4 pieces of dhokla without tadka will give you around 300 calories and with tadka they give 390 calories . But the good part is , Majority of these calories come from protein and not carbs or fat.

        How many calories get absorbed in the body out of these 390 because I have heard that calories in the food are different from what we absorb.

          absorption is completely dependent on persons gut health .. if your gut is healthy, yu can absorb all of it . there are a few foods like resistant starch where in you can dupe the body by showing it more calories but not letting it absorb them all.
