Why makki ki roti calorie numbers differ
Makki ki roti is a thick Punjabi flatbread of maize flour, grated radish, ajwain and salt, patted by hand and cooked on a tawa. It is served with a generous dab of ghee or white butter, and that topping, more than the maize, changes the calories between kitchens. Thick, dense rotis hold more flour than thin rotis, so size matters too.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 24% of the calories in 1 makki ki roti.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 70 g per makki ki roti. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
