In India, one plain 1 roti calories made from whole wheat flour typically contains around 80 to 100 calories. A standard roti is usually prepared using about 25–30 grams of atta. Most of the calories come from carbohydrates, followed by a small amount of protein and very little fat if no oil or ghee is used. One roti provides roughly 15–18 grams of carbohydrates, 3–4 grams of protein, and some dietary fiber, which supports digestion. If ghee, butter, or oil is added during cooking, the calorie count can increase to 120–150 calories.

To fry Amritsari papad in an air fryer, first preheat the air fryer to 180°C for about three minutes. Lightly brush both sides of the papad with a few drops of oil for even crisping. Place the papad in the air fryer basket in a single layer, without overlapping. Air fry for one to two minutes, then flip carefully and cook for another one to two minutes until it becomes crisp and lightly puffed. Keep a close watch, as papad cooks very fast. Remove immediately and serve hot with chopped onions, tomatoes, and chutney.
