Curry roux is made with fat and flour, so the sauce adds about 200 to 250 kcal.
A full plate holds 250 to 300 g of rice, about 390 to 470 kcal.

How to make it lighter

Ask for less rice; many curry shops let you choose 200 g.
Choose a fillet cutlet (hire) instead of a loin cutlet (rosu), which has less fat.
Add a side salad and leave some of the sauce on the plate.

How to log Katsu curry in Nibbs

Note the rice amount if the shop lists it, for example 300 g, because rice is the biggest part of the plate. Nibbs then estimates the portion and the calories for your actual plate, and you can edit any item before you save it.
