Ten rotis can require very different amounts of atta when their dough balls differ in size. The Whatson Roti Dough Calculator therefore asks for a count and a raw ball mass rather than assuming that each roti has a universal portion size.
Its quantity result includes the water and any entered salt or oil. Flour is only one part of the total dough.
Use your own portion and water percentage
Enter the number of rotis and the mass of one dough ball. Water is a percentage of atta mass; salt and oil follow the same basis. The opening values are editable examples.
The selected water percentage should describe the formula you intend to use. This tool cannot examine local chakki atta, its moisture or how the dough feels in your hands.
The 600 g example does not need 600 g atta
For ten 60 g balls, enter 65% water, 1% salt and 0% oil. The total dough target is 600 g.
The checked schedule is 361.446 g atta, 234.940 g water and 3.614 g salt. Oil contributes zero in this example.
Flour is calculated as 600 ÷ 1.66. If you began with 600 g atta instead, adding the same water and salt percentages would create 996 g of dough, a different batch from the one requested.
A dough ball is a raw quantity
The 60 g value belongs to the ball before rolling and cooking. It does not describe the cooked roti mass or diameter. Those depend on your own preparation and measurements.
Flour used for dusting is not included as a separate field. Keep it outside this mixing schedule rather than silently increasing the water percentage to accommodate flour that is not mixed into the dough.
Divide the dough you actually have
Theoretical ingredient totals and the available mixed dough can differ if some material remains in the bowl. Dough Portion Calculator takes a weighed dough batch and an entered handling loss allowance to calculate portions or leftover dough.
For a household recipe recorded in cups, Ingredient Weight Converter can provide a reference based conversion, but a custom measured cup of your own atta gives a clearer assumption than an unrelated ingredient chart.
There is no live atta price in the result. If you need a cost per roti, transfer the quantities to Recipe Cost Calculator, add your own pack quote and include the other relevant production costs.
Keep the ball size and water percentage in your recipe note after checking the worksheet. If a later batch uses larger balls, update the mass rather than changing only the roti count.
