Assumed: 1 paratha ≈ 90 g — the highest-protein bread on a vrat plate.
Rajgira Paratha by portion
Everything scales linearly from the 90 g serving. If your portion is bigger, so is the number.
| Portion | Grams | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × 1 paratha | 90 g | 251 kcal | 6.9 g | 33.8 g | 9.8 g | 4.1 g |
| 2 × 1 paratha | 180 g | 502 kcal | 13.9 g | 67.5 g | 19.6 g | 8.1 g |
| 3 × 1 paratha | 270 g | 753 kcal | 20.8 g | 101.3 g | 29.4 g | 12.2 g |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 279 kcal | 7.7 g | 37.5 g | 10.9 g | 4.5 g |
Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate; fibre is listed separately and is in neither the carbohydrate column nor the energy figure. Energy is reconciled against 4P + 4C + 9F on every build.
Recipe analysis: Recipe analysis. Built from an ingredient list, each ingredient taken from a sourced row in this dataset, divided by the finished weight.
Recipe used: 50 g rajgira atta, 20 g boiled potato, water and sendha namak, cooked on a tawa with 7 g of ghee. Finished weight 90 g, one paratha.
Read this with it: Energy on this row is the Atwater sum of the ingredients above, not an independent measurement. Change the ghee and everything moves.
How rajgira paratha is counted here
- The serving is the portion this food is actually eaten in — 1 paratha, taken as 90 g — not an anonymous 100 g.
- Composition is read off a named row: Recipe analysis, and the label on that row is printed above rather than hidden.
- Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate. Where a source publishes carbohydrate by difference, the fibre is subtracted here and the subtraction is stated.
- Energy is reconciled against Atwater factors on every build; a value that disagrees with its own macros does not ship.
serving kcal = 279 kcal/100 g × (90 g ÷ 100) = 251 kcal check = 4·P + 4·C + 9·F (±15%, ±20% high-fibre)
Observances it appears in
Where rajgira paratha shows up in the food customarily associated with an observance on this site. This is a description of common practice, not a rule.
Where it sits on a fasting plate
Among the 25 entries in vrat dishes on this site, rajgira paratha ranks 8 of 25 for energy density at 279 kcal per 100 g.
Protein supplies 11% of its energy. That is respectable for the permitted list, but a whole day built on foods like this will still run short — see വ്രതത്തിനിടയിലെ പ്രോട്ടീൻ.
It sits mid-range for energy density, so a measured portion behaves predictably.
Questions
Is rajgira paratha eaten during a vrat?
It is commonly eaten during a phalahar vrat in most households. Customs differ by family, region and community — this describes what is usual, not what is required. On this site it appears in the food list for Solah Somvar Vrat.
How many calories are in 1 paratha of rajgira paratha?
About 251 kcal for 1 paratha, taken as 90 g (the highest-protein bread on a vrat plate). That is 6.9 g protein, 33.8 g carbohydrate and 9.8 g fat. Per 100 g it carries 279 kcal.
Is rajgira paratha filling, or just energy?
Protein supplies about 11% of its energy, which is moderate. Pair it with curd, milk or nuts where your observance permits. Fibre is moderate at 4.5 g per 100 g. On a vrat that matters more than usual, because so much of the permitted food list is rapidly digested starch.

Practices are described as commonly observed; customs differ by family, region, community and sampradaya, and this site is not an authority on any of them. Food values come from the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN), the older ICMR–NIN tables, USDA FoodData Central, named composition studies and the shared ThaliFacts dataset, reconciled against Atwater factors on every build. Which source applies to which food is listed per food, and every source carries the date it was last checked. General information only — not medical or religious guidance.
