Long back it was one of my cousins who asked me difference between the various bread types like roti, chapathi, naan etc...
So here I am to post the explanation I had told him... Of course I am inspired very much by this show that is telecast in Pudhiya thalaimurai channel "Konjam Soru Konjam Varalaru" which is roughly translate as "Little food , Little history" :)

Paratha has layers ... They are usually made out of maida or atta, made on tava/tandoor (if lots of layers)... we can stuff this :)
Naan also has layers... made only by maida + yeast/raising agent (some use eggs too) but it is cooked in Tandoor
Chapathi/Roti are same as far as i know... they
dont have layers and are made on tava. Usually oil or ghee is used
while making dough as well as while cooking them..
Phulka on the other hand, made of atta , does
not use any oil or ghee to cook... the moisture in the dough is enuf for
it to cook... heat it on a tava for a minute and when little
bubble appears on both sides , place it over direct heat/fire with help
of tongs. It blooms(phools) and hence the name phulka... :) It "has " to served hot and you can
add ghee/oil over it in case u feel its too dry to eat...
There is one more type called
"kulcha".. this is more like stuffed naan...:)
