What goes into it
This is a standard home recipe, not one of the diet chart dishes: these are the weights the numbers come from. Your cook's version will differ, so check the oil and the portion.
| Ingredient | Amount | Calories (kcal) |
|---|---|---|
| Atta (whole wheat flour) | 40 g | 128 |
| Potato (Alu) | 50 g | 35 |
| Green chillies | 2 g | 1 |
| Coriander leaves (Hara dhania) | 3 g | 1 |
| Ghee | 5 g | 44 |
| Total | 209 |
- Oil: the ghee is 44 kcal of the 209. Without the ghee, 1 aloo paratha would come to about 165 kcal.
- Measure it: the oil is the part of this number you decide, so measure it with a spoon rather than pouring.
Each ingredient links to its own page, and the thali calorie calculator has this dish, so you can add it to the rest of your plate.

How this was worked out
The page adds up the IFCT values for every ingredient at the weight of a standard home recipe. The weights are raw, as the tables measure them, and the oil is the oil in the recipe. Katori means a standard 150 ml bowl. Your cooking will differ a little, so treat the number as a good starting point and check it against how you feel and what the scale says.
Calories and nutrients are calculated from the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017, National Institute of Nutrition (ICMR).
