What to know
- • Estimate for a medium whole-wheat (atta) chapati rolled from about 40 g flour, cooked on a dry or lightly oiled tawa.
- • Four medium chapatis ≈ 480 kcal before curry, ghee, or butter on top.
- • Values vary with flour type, oil/ghee on the tawa, and diameter/thickness.
- • Restaurant naan is usually much higher in calories than chapati.
Smarter plate tips
- • Skip brushing with butter or ghee if you are tracking tightly.
- • Pair with daal and salad for a balanced plate.
- • Smaller phulka-style rotis (less flour) cut calories without changing the meal style.
