Tandoori Roti calories
per roti, not per 100 g
The short answer
One roti, weighed
131kcal 1 tandoori roti — taken as 60 g — has about 131 calories, with 4.4 g protein, 26.9 g carbohydrate and 0.7 g fat. Two come to 263 kcal, three to 394 kcal.
Per 100 g, tandoori roti carries 219 kcal आणि 7.4 g protein.

Serving assumed: 1 tandoori roti ≈ 60 g — restaurant tandoor, whole wheat, no butter. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.

From a table row to one roti
- Read the per-100 g row for tandoori roti 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 219 kcal आणि 7.4 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 tandoori roti at 60 g (restaurant tandoor, whole wheat, no butter). 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: 219 × 60 ÷ 100 = 131 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.

Kept in kilocalories — the "calories" printed on a packet. Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate. Fibre is entered on its own line and is counted in neither the carbohydrate column nor the energy figure.
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.

What it takes to burn off 1 tandoori roti of tandoori roti
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 131 kcal, using MET values from the 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities. This is a scale check, not a licence — appetite rises with activity and the two do not cancel neatly.

Where tandoori roti sits in an Indian plate
Among the 20 breads & rotis entries on this site, tandoori roti ranks 10th for protein (7.4 g per 100 g) and 18th for energy density (219 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is paneer paratha at 10.2 g.
Protein supplies 14% 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 7.7 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.
प्रश्न
How many calories are in 1 tandoori roti?
About 131 kcal for 1 tandoori roti, taken as 60 g (restaurant tandoor, whole wheat, no butter). Two come to roughly 263 kcal and three to 394 kcal. Per 100 g, tandoori roti carries 219 kcal.

7.4 g per 100 g, which works out to 4.4 g in 1 tandoori roti. That is 14% of the energy in this food, and ranks 10th of 20 in the breads & rotis group on this site.
Is tandoori roti good for weight loss?
100 g मागे 219 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 restaurant tandoor, whole wheat, no butter. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.

Where this number comes from
स्रोत नोंदवलेल्या घटकांवरून केलेले पाककृतीचे विश्लेषण. कर्बोदके म्हणजे उपलब्ध कर्बोदके — आहारातील तंतू वगळून तो स्वतंत्रपणे दिला आहे.
पाककृती आणि तयार पदार्थाचे वजन: 42 g atta and water, baked in a tandoor with no fat brushed on. Finished weight 60 g, one roti.
Confidence in the quantities: high. Two or three ingredients, one of them dominant, little or no cooking fat. This dish does not move much between households.
स्रोत ओळ: IFCT 2017 A019, Wheat flour, atta. Energy on this row is the Atwater sum of the ingredients above, not an independent measurement, so it reconciles by construction — that is a property of the method and not evidence that the quantities are right. The ingredient weights are this site's assumption; the table rows behind each ingredient are not.
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.
