Indian Breads are many types so names depend according to type - the number may overwhelm. In widely spoken Hindi I will offer some names :

Phoolka : Thinnest bread made of non fermented flour, with a spread of Ghee (cow milk fat) - generally it is puffed and has two layers

Chapati : Thicker than Phoolka - generally dry or spread with Ghee - may or may not be puffed

Roti : May be baked in oven, or roasted on a hotplate / griddle

Poori : Wheat flour - deep fried in oil (peanut, vegetable, soybean, mustard etc) or ghee

Bhatura : made of Wheat - Non husk - fine white flour - deep fried

Paratha : Thicker than Chapati - may be slathered with Ghee - butter , cheese - may be stuffed with various spices, veggies or meat or chicken

Dosa : Thin / crisp fermented Rice flour pancake

Utappam : Made with same flour as Dosa - only thicker and sprinkled with onions / tomatoes / etc
