Log real Indian food
Search 364 vegetarian dishes — dal tadka, poha, idli, rajma, thepla, misal, pesarattu. Portions are in katoris, rotis and glasses, so you log what you actually served yourself.
Every other app makes you log Indian food as “1 cup mixed curry”. Plated knows what a katori of dal tadka weighs, what a phulka costs you, and why your chole is fine but your bhatura isn’t.
Works in your browser. Add it to your home screen and it behaves like a native app.
Six things, each built around how Indian meals actually work.
Search 364 vegetarian dishes — dal tadka, poha, idli, rajma, thepla, misal, pesarattu. Portions are in katoris, rotis and glasses, so you log what you actually served yourself.
Snap a meal and get the dishes identified, portions estimated and calories totalled — plus a straight answer on what was worth cutting.
Enter your height, weight, age and how fast you want to lose. You get a daily calorie number, a protein floor, a water goal and a step goal — each derived, not guessed.
Instead of an empty search box at 8pm, the Plan screen builds a full day around your target and tells you what fits in the calories you have left right now.
A bar chart with your target line drawn across it, a month heatmap of every day you hit or missed, and a weight trend that shows the direction the scale won’t.
Tap a glass to log water. Steps save as you type. A streak counter that only rewards showing up, and a daily line that isn’t motivational-poster nonsense.
Every dish carries calories, protein, carbs, fat, fibre, a home recipe and one specific tip for cutting its calories. These are the highest-protein easy dishes in it.

And when you’re hungry with no calories left, it knows the lightest things you can eat:
No black box. Here is the actual arithmetic.
BMI uses Asian-Indian cutoffs, where the healthy range tops out at 23 rather than 25. Plated gives general guidance, not medical advice — if you’re pregnant, diabetic or managing a condition, run your targets past a doctor first.
Yes. It runs on a private server with no ads, no tracking and no subscription. Your food log is visible only to you.
No. It runs in your browser. On a phone you can add it to your home screen from the browser menu, after which it opens full-screen like a normal app and works offline for the parts that do not need fresh data.
Entirely. The database is 364 Indian vegetarian dishes measured in katoris, rotis and glasses — dal tadka, poha, idli, rajma, chole, upma, thepla — not chicken breast and oatmeal. Every dish carries a home recipe and one specific tip for cutting its calories without ruining it.
Mifflin-St Jeor for your basal rate, multiplied by an activity factor, minus the deficit implied by how fast you want to lose. Targets are floored at 1,500 kcal for men and 1,200 for women, so the app never recommends undereating.
You photograph a plate and it identifies the dishes, estimates portion sizes from visual cues, and returns calories per item plus what is worth cutting. Estimates from a photo are a guide, not a lab measurement.
That is what it is built for. It assumes you want to lose weight while still eating Indian home food, so it focuses on portion sizes, protein and swaps rather than telling you to stop eating rice.
Set it up in about a minute. Nothing to install, nothing to pay.
