One serving of Anday ka Salan (approximately 1 cup or 245g) contains around 320-360 calories, depending on the amount of oil and the fat content of the curd used.
Leftover Anday ka Salan can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat thoroughly on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
