Gobi paratha calories and macros
Real numbers for 1 paratha (medium), calculated from a stated recipe. We show our work below.
By Shivam Verma Updated
One medium gobi paratha (about 100 g) has roughly 210 calories, with about 5.5 g protein, 30 g carbohydrate, and 8 g fat. Gobi paratha is whole wheat dough stuffed with spiced grated cauliflower, and it is one of the lighter stuffed parathas because cauliflower is mostly water and fibre with very few calories of its own. That means the calories come mainly from the wheat dough and the ghee it is cooked in, not the filling, which is why gobi lands below aloo paratha (potato is starchy and calorie-dense) but above a plain paratha. A version cooked with minimal oil is near 170, while a ghee-heavy restaurant one crosses 280. The cauliflower adds useful fibre and vitamin C for almost no calorie cost, so gobi paratha is a reasonable choice among stuffed parathas. As always with parathas, the cooking fat is the real variable, dry-roast it and pair with curd to keep a breakfast light.

Common questions
How many calories in 1 gobi paratha?
About 210 for a medium one with ghee. Dry-roasted it is near 170, a ghee-heavy restaurant one about 285. Cauliflower is low-calorie, so the dough and cooking fat carry most of it.
Is gobi paratha good for weight loss?
It is one of the lighter stuffed parathas: the cauliflower filling adds fibre and volume for few calories. Dry-roast it, keep it medium-sized, and pair with curd for a roughly 200-calorie breakfast.
Which has fewer calories, gobi or aloo paratha?
Gobi, usually. Cauliflower is mostly water and fibre, while potato is starchy and calorie-dense, so a gobi paratha (around 210) is a little lighter than an aloo paratha (around 280) for the same cooking fat.
