The Weekly Aloo Audit — One Vegetable, Seven Dishes

Aloo (potato) shows up in seven dishes across the week, and the calories range wildly. The cooking method, not the potato, is what changes the number. Boiled potato is one of the most filling foods per calorie; frying oil, deep-frying, and ghee-stuffing multiply the calories.

Aloo is the same vegetable every day of the week. But on Monday it is a dry gobi sabzi, on Wednesday a deep-fried bonda, and on Sunday a stuffed paratha. Same potato, very different calories. This is the weekly aloo audit — seven dishes, one vegetable, and the real reason the numbers jump around. We already have single-dish articles (aloo gobi dry sabzi, dum aloo kashmiri, aloo bonda fried, aloo tikki chaat, aloo bhujia sev). This one is the meta-audit: it looks across all of them at once.
