Roti, also called chapati or phulka, is an unleavened flatbread of whole wheat atta and water, cooked on a tawa and often puffed over an open flame. It gets most of its calories from carbohydrate and is naturally low in fat when served plain. A teaspoon of ghee brushed on top adds about 45 kcal per roti, so plain rotis are the lighter option.
Typical portion: A medium roti weighs about 35–40 g, which works out to roughly 105–120 kcal.
