The other answers are not very accurate. I am an Indian cook and this is what I know to be true:

Both Chapati and Naan breads are traditional Indian breads. Chapatis can be eaten at any meal of the day (often, at breakfast or snacktime, families eat them with jam or sugar). Naan is not eaten for breakfast, because it is much thicker/more filling. It is served with lunch or dinner. A naan is not eaten with sugar, jam, or fruit. It is eaten with a curry. (One exception is the Kabuli naan, which is prepared with dried fruits and nuts in it.)

The main difference between a chapati and a naan is that a naan is leavened. (It is raised.) This means that the dough is prepared using yeast. This is what makes a naan fluffy. A chapati,>******************************...

NAANS:

4 1/2 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons minced garlic (optional)
1/4 cup butter, melted

DIRECTIONS

PS: crispy deep fried Indian flatbreads are known as
pooris, the fried naans are called bhatura.
Chapati is crispy/deep fried and many times quite spicy whereas Naan is soft and plain can be "buttered".
chapati is made up of weat flour.
naan is made up of maida.
