What is an optimal way to make tandoori roti and naan in big green egg?
Big green egg (and other kamado style ovens) can be used for many kinds of different breads. What is an optimal way to bake naan and/or tandoori roti in an egg( large size)? Traditionally clay ovens is India have long hollow cylindrical structure where the bread is stuck, not sure how we can replicate the same behavior in Big Green Egg. Use in on the plate setter or use a pizza stone or stick it on the inside of the upper some? What should the temperature be? How long should it be left? Any other useful information regarding this?

I make naan on my BGE all the time. You can't replicate a tandoor, however, the results are very good. I find it best to cook the naan directly on the grill, and over the coals. I find lower heat is best. I either bake them at the end of a grill session, when the heat is dying, or I completely close the bottom vent (leaving the lid open...not just the lid vent). Depending on the heat level, it only takes a minute or two on each side. I place the rolled out naan on the grill, lightly brush with melted butter, wait for bubbling/puffing, flip, brush with butter, wait for puffing (or peak underneath and look for doneness), then remove to a towel for holding...repeat.

Naan is a delicious flatbread, mainly known from Indian cuisine. You can also easily bake this flatbread in the Big Green Egg. After all, it's best when homemade, especially when baked in your kamado. Naan dough only has to rise once, and it doesn't have to bake very long, making it a relatively quick bread.Is Tandoori Roti and naan same?
If you are confused between Tandoori Roti and Naan, then here are the differences: Naan is made of only maida, while Tandoori Roti is made of both wheat flour and maida or just wheat flour. Naan is made out of leavened dough (fermented with yeast), while Tandoori Roti is made of plain dough.Is Tandoori Roti better than naan?
Naan is softer in texture due to the kind of flour and yeast used. Roti is easy to make and does not consume much time to get prepared. Naan is time-consuming to make. Roti is enriched with dietary fiber, proteins, iron, potassium, and minerals.What is the difference between Tandoori Roti and roti?
Traditionally these are made in a tandoor, which is a pot-shaped clay oven and not on a skillet or flat pan. Hence the name tandoori roti which means that these are cooked in a tandoor unlike the regular Roti which is cooked on a tawa (a flat or concave shaped skillet).Kamado Tandoor oven?
