The calories and nutrition in Indian foods like Roti / Naan / Chapatti / Parathas depend on the way the foods are cooked. As a general rule Indian parathas are very high in calories/energy (high calories from fat). The paraths are fried in ghee or butter whereas tandoori roti is baked in tandoor so these are supposed to be low in calories. But this is not so because after baking they are coated with ghee or butter to improve their taste. However, it is possible to have traditional parantha Indian recipes that produce tasty parathas with very less fat and keeping the natural nutrition values and low calories.
