Questions
How many calories are in 1 medium roti with ghee?
About 137 kcal for 1 medium roti with ghee, taken as 48 g (one medium phulka with about half a teaspoon of ghee applied after cooking). Two come to roughly 274 kcal and three to 410 kcal. Per 100 g, roti with ghee carries 285 kcal.
How much protein is in roti with ghee?
6.8 g per 100 g, which works out to 3.3 g in 1 medium roti with ghee. That is 10% of the energy in this food, and ranks 14th of 20 in the breads & rotis group on this site.
Is roti with ghee good for weight loss?
At 285 kcal per 100 g it is energy-dense, so the portion decides everything. Protein is low, so eat it alongside a protein source rather than on its own. No single food makes or breaks a diet; the total for the day does.
Why does this differ from other calorie sites?
Two reasons. First, most sites publish a per-100 g figure from a US database and leave you to guess what a roti or a katori weighs; this page states the serving weight up front. Second, home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil and ghee — the figures here assume one medium phulka with about half a teaspoon of ghee applied after cooking. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
