Aloo Paratha calories
per paratha, not per 100 g
The short answer
One paratha, weighed
209kcal 1 medium aloo paratha — taken as 110 g — has about 209 calories, with 4.5 g protein, 30.6 g carbohydrate and 7.6 g fat. Two come to 418 kcal, three to 627 kcal.
Per 100 g, aloo paratha carries 190 kcal ਅਤੇ 4.1 g protein.

From a table row to one paratha
- Read the per-100 g row for aloo paratha 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 190 kcal ਅਤੇ 4.1 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 medium aloo paratha at 110 g (whole wheat, potato stuffing, cooked with about 1 teaspoon of oil). 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: 190 × 110 ÷ 100 = 209 kcal per paratha. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two parathas 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.

Where aloo paratha sits in an Indian plate
Among the 20 breads & rotis entries on this site, aloo paratha ranks 20th for protein (4.1 g per 100 g) and 20th for energy density (190 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is paneer paratha at 10.2 g.
Protein supplies only 9% of its energy, so treat it as an energy food rather than a protein food. Fibre is moderate at 4.4 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.
ਸਵਾਲ
How many calories are in 1 medium aloo paratha?
About 209 kcal for 1 medium aloo paratha, taken as 110 g (whole wheat, potato stuffing, cooked with about 1 teaspoon of oil). Two come to roughly 418 kcal and three to 627 kcal. Per 100 g, aloo paratha carries 190 kcal.
How much protein is in aloo paratha?
4.1 g per 100 g, which works out to 4.5 g in 1 medium aloo paratha. That is 9% of the energy in this food, and ranks 20th of 20 in the breads & rotis group on this site.
Is aloo paratha good for weight loss?
At 190 kcal per 100 g it is mid-range — it fits a deficit if the portion is measured rather than eyeballed. 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 whole wheat, potato stuffing, cooked with about 1 teaspoon of oil. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.

Where this number comes from
Recipe analysis from sourced ingredients. Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate — dietary fibre excluded and listed separately.
Recipe and finished weight: 35 g atta for the covering, 55 g boiled potato for the stuffing, cooked in about 7 g of oil. Finished weight 110 g, one medium paratha.
Confidence in the quantities: medium. There is a real assumption here about how much of something went in, but it sits inside a narrow normal range.
ਸਰੋਤ ਕਤਾਰ: IFCT 2017 A019, Wheat flour, atta; IFCT 2017 F006, Potato, brown skin, big (Solanum tuberosum), boiled. 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. Cooking fat is the largest single assumption here and is stated in the recipe rather than buried in the total.
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.
