Why roti calorie numbers differ
Roti is a thin, unleavened wheat flatbread rolled from atta dough and puffed on a tawa, often with ghee or butter smeared on top. Size and thickness are what move its calories, because a wide dhaba roti holds far more flour than a small home phulka. A spoon of ghee on top adds more than most people expect, so note whether yours is dry or buttered.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 58% of the calories in 1 roti.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 38 g per roti. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
