Mooli paratha calories and macros
Real numbers for 1 paratha (medium), calculated from a stated recipe. We show our work below.
One medium mooli paratha (about 100 g) has roughly 190 calories, with about 5 g protein, 29 g carbohydrate, and 6.5 g fat. Mooli paratha is whole wheat dough stuffed with spiced grated radish, and it is the lightest of the common stuffed parathas, because radish is almost all water and fibre with barely any calories of its own. The filling adds moisture, flavour, and fibre without adding much energy, so the calories come almost entirely from the dough and the cooking ghee. That makes mooli paratha a little lighter even than gobi, and well below aloo or paneer. A version cooked with minimal oil is near 155, while a ghee-heavy one crosses 250. Radish also brings a good dose of fibre and vitamin C. For a lighter stuffed-paratha breakfast, mooli is one of the best choices, and as always the cooking fat is the number that actually moves it, so a dry-roasted mooli paratha with curd is a genuinely light option.

Is mooli paratha good for weight loss?
Yes, it is one of the best paratha choices for it: the radish filling adds fibre and volume for almost no calories. Dry-roast it and pair with curd for a light, filling breakfast around 155 to 190 calories.

Mooli, usually, at about 190 calories with ghee, because radish is the lowest-calorie filling. Gobi is close behind; aloo and paneer are the heaviest.
