What changes the number
Walnuts are the most calorie-dense item most Indian kitchens keep — 654 kcal per 100 g, higher than almonds and roughly three-quarters of what ghee carries gram for gram. They are also the best common vegetarian source of omega-3 ALA, which is the reason to eat them. Both things are true, so the sensible pattern is a small fixed number daily rather than an open packet. Twenty grams is about 130 kcal and does the job.

Cross-checked against USDA FoodData Central (Nuts, walnuts, english), which gives 654 kcal per 100 g — effectively the same figure.
Home recipes vary, especially in oil and ghee.
