Missi Rotis

The calories and nutrition in Indian foods like Roti / Naan / Chapati / Parathas depend on the way the foods are cooked. Indian parathas are very high in calories/energy (high calories from fat) as these are fried in ghee or butter. Tandoori roti is baked in tandoor so these are supposed to be low in calories. But they are often coated with ghee or butter to improve their taste and that makes them high calorie, high fat food. But if you dont want to make it hign calorie food then at the time of swallow fry use oil as less as possible.

Kasuri methi and the other spices add just the right aroma and taste to these Rotis. The thickness of the roti is depend on person to person and their choice.
