Just did a search for this and found:
One chapati made without oil provides 102 calories, 4 g protein, 22 g carbohydrates, .5 g fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 3 g dietary fiber, 11 mg calcium, 122 mg potassium and 802 mg sodium.
- this is for a 'normal' size chapati made from whole-wheat flour & water
Hope that helps

Managed to dig this up-
All purpose flour:
Protein and ash typically run 11.00-11.80% (12.80-13.50% dry basis (db)) and 0.39-0.44% (0.45-0.51% db), respectively.
Whole-wheat flour:
Protein and ash content of whole wheat flours are typically 12.5-13.5% (14.5-15.7% db) and 1.20-1.40% (1.40-1.62% db) respectively.

jack i didnt understand any of ur percentages can u explain them into grams?
Say a cooked chapati weighs 35 grams. Of that, assume 5 grams to be the water weight, leaving 30 grams of flour weight in the chapati. For whole-wheat flour, the protein content is about 13%, and 11.5% for 'normal' flour.
13% of 30grams = 4grams
11.5% of 30grams = 3.5grams
So, a whole-wheat flour chapati has about 4 grams of protein, while a 'normal' flour chapati has about 3.5 grams.

It is actually a very thin bread made out of whole wheat flour. It is very flexible than our usual bread because it is prepared mixing the flour in water, properly grinding it and flattening it in round shape then heating it in a pan/griddle and fire. It is mainly an Indian cuisine and also called 'Indian bread" and is eaten with cooked vegetables.
