Why aloo paratha calorie numbers differ
Aloo paratha is wheat dough stuffed with spiced mashed potato, onion, green chilli, coriander and amchur, then roasted on a tawa. The stuffing-to-dough ratio changes the calories, as does the oil or butter brushed on while it roasts, and restaurant versions are usually larger and oilier than home versions. Count the parathas rather than judging by size, and add any butter on top separately.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 22% of the calories in 1 aloo paratha.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 100 g per aloo paratha. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
