Paratha calories and macros

One plain paratha (a medium one, about 60 g) has roughly 200 calories, with about 5 g protein, 30 g carbohydrate, and 7 g fat. A plain paratha is whole wheat dough rolled with oil or ghee and cooked on a tava, so it sits between a roti and a stuffed paratha in calories, and the fat is the whole story. A paratha cooked with minimal oil is near 150, a standard one with a normal amount of ghee is about 200, and a layered lachha paratha or one cooked in generous ghee crosses 280. That is a wide range for the same bread, and it comes entirely from the cooking fat, since one teaspoon of ghee adds about 40 calories. A plain paratha is heavier than a plain roti (about 110) mostly because of that added fat, not the flour. If you are tracking, count the ghee separately; two identical parathas can differ by 100 calories based only on how much fat hit the tava.
