About Halwa Puri (Breakfast)
The Sunday halwa puri plate — two puris, a scoop of suji halwa and a ladle of chanay (and often aloo bhujia) — is about 800 kcal before the chai. It is the heaviest standard breakfast in Pakistan, and most of it is the oil in the puris and the ghee in the halwa.
Tip: If it is a weekly ritual, keep it to one puri and the chanay, and go easy on the halwa; that alone brings it near 450 kcal.
