Welcome! Have a look around
Bet you never thought you would ever see something like this on the internet! Well, get ready to have your mind blown
Let’s get one thing straight:
If your nani made it, it probably slaps.
Missi roti? Slaps and keeps you full. Double win.
So before you go crying over bland oatcakes and overpriced protein bars, let’s talk about the humble Missi Roti — the flatbread that’s been holding down desi households long before “high fibre” became a wellness trend.
🥬 What is Missi Roti?
It’s a traditional North Indian flatbread made from a combo of besan (gram flour) and whole wheat atta, often mixed with onions, coriander, ajwain, and a whole lot of love (and by love, we mean ghee — optional if you're counting cals).
Surprisingly, yes. And here’s why:
High in Fibre
Missi roti contains chickpea flour (besan) = more fibre and protein than regular roti. And what does fibre do? It fills you up and slows digestion — so you stay fuller, longer.
Better Blood Sugar Control
Because it digests slower, it doesn’t spike your blood sugar like a white toast frenzy. This means fewer cravings and less mindless snacking between meals.
It’s Satisfying as Hell
It’s thick, chewy, flavourful, and comforting — basically the opposite of that sad salad you pretend to enjoy.
💡 Weight loss isn’t just about eating less. It’s about not getting hungry every 2 hours and raiding the snack drawer. Nobody talks about this enough
You know that “I’ll just have a biscuit with tea” moment?
That turns into “oops I had 4.”
Those 200–300 cals here and there add up FAST.
Now imagine if your lunch was actually filling.
If one or two missi rotis with some daal or sabzi kept you full till dinner?
You’d skip the unnecessary nibbling.
Boom — caloric deficit maintained without suffering.
🥇 Missi roti is a low-key hunger controller.
And no, it’s not “bad” because it’s a carb. You know what’s worse? 7 random snacks before dinner.
Have it at lunch with a side of yoghurt or daal
Keep the oil/ghee minimal if you're tracking cals
1–2 rotis is usually enough to feel satisfied — especially if you're eating slowly, not shovelling like you’re in an eating contest
🧠Weight loss always comes down to calories in vs calories out.
If missi roti helps you eat less crap later by keeping you full and happy now — it’s doing its job.
Missi roti isn’t a magic fat-burner.
But if it keeps you on track, reduces snacking, and gives you the warm fuzzy joy of mum’s cooking.... then It’s way more helpful than that 100-calorie rice cake that tastes like regret.
So go ahead, roll out a couple, slap on some chutney, and enjoy your culture without the guilt.
Because the real weight loss win?
Feeling full, satisfied, and still smashing your goals.
