Tag: Deep frying oil absorption

According to nutrition data, a single deep fried Puri can contain anywhere from 100 to 140 calories, with fat making up a significant portion. The exact number depends heavily on factors like size, thickness, and the type of oil used, making it a high-calorie food item despite its small size.

According to the USDA, a small 138-gram baked potato contains 128 calories and 0.18 grams of fat, while the same amount of french fries has 431 calories and 20 grams of fat. The primary culprit behind this dramatic increase is a process that explains why frying food adds so many calories.
