Questions
How many calories are in 1 makki roti?
About 182 kcal for 1 makki roti, taken as 70 g (maize flour, cooked with a little ghee as it traditionally is). Two come to roughly 364 kcal and three to 546 kcal. Per 100 g, makki di roti carries 260 kcal.

6.0 g per 100 g, which works out to 4.2 g in 1 makki roti. That is 9% of the energy in this food, and ranks 19th of 20 in the breads & rotis group on this site.
Is makki di roti good for weight loss?
At 260 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 maize flour, cooked with a little ghee as it traditionally is. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
