Short answer
One serving of ayam geprek (about 210 g) has about 610 kcal and 33 g of protein; 100 g has about 291 kcal. What changes the calories most is the batter and the oil in the sambal. One serving without rice was calculated; a version with rice is in the table.
Ayam geprek is battered fried chicken smashed in a stone mortar with fiery garlic and chilli sambal. Cheap, spicy and filling, it became a student favourite and is now sold in shops and food courts across Indonesia.
The crisp batter absorbs frying oil, and the sambal is often made with hot oil too. Many shops add melted cheese, which raises the total further.
