From a table row to one roti
- Read the per-100 g row for jowar roti (bhakri) out of the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 — analysed on Indian samples, so Indian wheat and Indian milk are not swapped for American ones. It gives 225 kcal आणि 6.5 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 jowar bhakri at 50 g (sorghum flour, cooked dry with no fat). That weight is the number other calorie sites decline to state, and it is where their answers stop being answers.
- Multiply, linearly, and print the working: 225 × 50 ÷ 100 = 113 kcal per roti. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two roti are exactly twice one.
- Reconcile the energy against its own macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. A row more than 15% away from 4P + 4C + 9F (20% above 6 g of fibre) stops the build rather than shipping.

The 100 g column, kept for the record
Because every other site quotes it, and because you should be able to check our arithmetic against theirs.

Where jowar roti (bhakri) sits in an Indian plate
Among the 20 breads & rotis entries on this site, jowar roti (bhakri) ranks 16th for protein (6.5 g per 100 g) and 17th for energy density (225 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is paneer paratha at 10.2 g.
Protein supplies 12% of its energy — respectable, but a plate built only on this will run short. Dal, curd, paneer or eggs close the gap cheaply. Fibre is genuinely high at 6.5 g per 100 g.
A realistic day matters more than any single dish. If you are building a meal, the thali builder adds several foods and their real servings together in one total.

Is jowar roti (bhakri) good for weight loss?
100 g मागे 225 kcal या हिशेबाने हे मधल्या श्रेणीत येते — भाग नजरेने न ठरवता मोजून घेतला तर तो कॅलरी-तुटीत बसतो. प्रथिने मध्यम आहेत, त्यामुळे पोट भरलेले राहावे म्हणून सोबत डाळ, दही किंवा मांसाहारी पदार्थ घ्या. कोणताही एकच पदार्थ आहार बनवत किंवा बिघडवत नाही; दिवसाची एकूण बेरीज महत्त्वाची.
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 sorghum flour, cooked dry with no fat. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
Similar foods
Four more from breads & rotis, and three from elsewhere with a similar energy density.
Where this number comes from
From the composition tables, not re-checked against a named row. This site does not claim a carbohydrate basis for this figure. Either it is a hand-entered composite with no stored ingredient list to derive one from, or the named table row disagrees with what is published here by too much to say which basis the number is on.
Every food on this site carries this label. What each one means, and how many foods sit behind each, is set out on the method page.
Nutrient values are averages for the stated preparation, based on the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN) and standard recipe analysis. Energy is reconciled against the macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. General information only — not medical or nutrition advice. Home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil, ghee and portion size; every value here is an average for a stated serving, with the assumption shown.
