Per serving (1 chapati)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
Chapati brings a nice bit of fiber from whole wheat, which helps keep digestion moving and supports regular bowel movements. Since it’s made from atta, it’s a steadier carb than maida-based breads, so it usually feels gentler on the gut and gives more lasting fullness. The small amount of ghee can help make it easier to digest for some people and also adds a little richness. Best tip: pair your roti with dal, sabzi, or curd so the meal gets more fiber and is easier on your stomach than roti alone.
