Try these low-cal alternatives.
You are not alone. But is skipping roti the solution?
One wheat roti has about 106 calories. Eat 3-4 at dinner and you've crossed 300+ calories. That too without the sabzi or dal!
Roti is a good mix of carbs, fibre, and protein. The problem is eating in excess.
Here are 5 alternatives to roti that are lower in calories, and still delicious.
✅ Gluten-free & fibre-rich. ✅ Helps manage blood sugar. ✅ Pair with green vegetables and chutney.
1.
✅ Calcium-rich, great for bones. ✅ High iron, good for anaemia. ✅ Soft, earthy, and pairs beautifully with curd.
2.
✅ Maize-based winter favourite. ✅ Rich in fibre & vitamin B. ✅ Goes best with sarson da saag (and nostalgia!).
3.
✅ Made from 3–4 flours (jowar, bajra, oats). ✅ Moderate GI (55-69). ✅ A versatile, everyday upgrade from plain atta.
4.
✅ Easy to digest. ✅ Gluten-free. ✅ Best for people with a sensitive gut, looking for a light dinner.
5.
✅ Have celiac disease or gluten intolerance. ✅ Are on a keto or low-carb diet. ✅ Feel bloated after wheat- based meals.
You don't need to give up on eating rotis. You simply need to swap smarter and portion better.
