How to read this
Per-100 g comparisons flatter whatever is eaten in small portions. Butter Naan is denser per gram, but people do not eat by the gram — butter naan arrives as 1 butter naan and tandoori roti as 1 tandoori roti, and that is where the real difference shows up.
Butter Naan carries more protein, which matters more than the calorie gap if you are trying to stay full. Fibre also favours tandoori roti here. Both figures assume home cooking with a measured amount of oil; a restaurant plate of either can run 30 to 60% higher.
