From a table row to one roti
- Read the per-100 g row for roti with ghee 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 289 kcal మరియు 6.6 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 medium roti with ghee at 48 g (one medium phulka with about a level teaspoon of ghee applied after cooking). 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: 289 × 48 ÷ 100 = 139 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.

Where roti with ghee sits in an Indian plate
Among the 20 breads & rotis entries on this site, roti with ghee ranks ప్రొటీన్కు 15వ (6.6 g per 100 g) and శక్తి సాంద్రతకు 8వ (289 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 genuinely high at 6.9 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.
ప్రశ్నలు
How many calories are in 1 medium roti with ghee?
About 139 kcal for 1 medium roti with ghee, taken as 48 g (one medium phulka with about a level teaspoon of ghee applied after cooking). Two come to roughly 277 kcal and three to 416 kcal. Per 100 g, roti with ghee carries 289 kcal.
How much protein is in roti with ghee?
6.6 g per 100 g, which works out to 3.2 g in 1 medium roti with ghee. That is 9% of the energy in this food, and ranks 15th of 20 in the breads & rotis group on this site.
Is roti with ghee good for weight loss?
100 gకి 289 kcal ఉంది కాబట్టి ఇందులో శక్తి సాంద్రత ఎక్కువ, అందుకే పరిమాణమే అన్నీ నిర్ణయిస్తుంది. ప్రోటీన్ తక్కువ, కాబట్టి దీన్ని ఒక్కదాన్నే కాకుండా ఒక ప్రోటీన్ మూలంతో కలిపి తినండి. ఏ ఒక్క ఆహారమూ డైట్ను నిలబెట్టదు, పాడుచేయదు; ఆ రోజు మొత్తమే ముఖ్యం.
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 one medium phulka with about a level teaspoon of ghee applied after cooking. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.

రెసిపీ మరియు వండిన తర్వాత బరువు: 30 g atta cooked dry, then 5 g of ghee — one level teaspoon — smeared on afterwards. Finished weight 48 g, one roti.
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.
Source row: 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. Cooking fat is the largest single assumption here and is stated in the recipe rather than buried in the total. The ghee is a third of the energy of this roti. The row's own description used to say half a teaspoon while its number implied a full one; a level teaspoon is what is computed here, and halving it takes this roti back to about 240 kcal per 100 g.
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.
