A chapati is a flat bread made with brown flour. A paratha is a flaky flatbread fried in a stone frying pan. One chapati is about 104 calories, 63 are carbohydrate, 10 are from protein and the rest is from the fat content. The average parratha has 258 calories, of which 94 come from the fat content. They are absolutely delicious but perhaps not the best choice for slimmers – unless it’s a day off of course.
