Where rumali roti sits in an Indian plate

Among the 20 breads & rotis entries on this site, rumali roti ranks 6th for protein (8.0 g per 100 g) and 11th for energy density (275 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is paneer paratha at 9.0 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 moderate at 2.2 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.

Questions

How many calories are in 1 rumali roti?

About 151 kcal for 1 rumali roti, taken as 55 g (thin refined-flour roti cooked on an inverted tawa). Two come to roughly 303 kcal and three to 454 kcal. Per 100 g, rumali roti carries 275 kcal.

How much protein is in rumali roti?

8.0 g per 100 g, which works out to 4.4 g in 1 rumali roti. That is 12% of the energy in this food, and ranks 6th of 20 in the breads & rotis group on this site.

Is rumali roti good for weight loss?

At 275 kcal per 100 g it is energy-dense, so the portion decides everything. Protein is moderate, so pair it with dal, curd or a non-veg side to stay full. 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 thin refined-flour roti cooked on an inverted tawa. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.

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.
