Chapatis, made without fat

Chapatis are wheat flour flatbreads; the figures here describe chapatis made without added fat. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with some protein and small amounts of fat. Per 100g, they contain 44g of carbohydrate, 7.3g of protein and 1g of fat, and provide 860 kJ of energy. They also contain minerals and B vitamins.

Carbohydrate is a source of energy for the body, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of tissues. Thiamin helps the body release energy from food. These figures apply to chapatis made without fat; adding oil, butter or ghee changes their energy and fat content.
