How Tandoori Roti fits in your diet
A 1 medium (~70 g) of tandoori roti contributes about 10% of a 2,000-kcal daily target and roughly 12% of an average adult's 50 g daily protein floor. Typically made with whole wheat flour, water, salt, ghee (brushed).
Whole-wheat flatbread baked in a tandoor (clay oven). Slightly thicker and chewier than chapati, usually brushed with a touch of ghee. For a balanced Indian plate, pair it with a protein source (dal, paneer, eggs or chicken), a sabzi and a small portion of curd or salad. Restaurant or street-style versions can run 20–40% higher in calories because of extra oil, ghee or cream — adjust portion size accordingly.
Cuisine region: north indian.
