Peel and mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the cilantro.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, minced garlic, red chili flakes, and chopped cilantro.
Slowly add water to the dry ingredients, mixing with your hands or a spatula until it starts to form a dough.
Add olive oil to the dough and knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and pliable.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
Divide the rested dough into 8 equal parts and roll each into a smooth ball.
Preheat a cast-iron skillet or a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a flat circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
Place the rolled-out dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the roti and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown spots appear.
Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the remaining dough balls.
Serve the rotis warm with your choice of accompaniment.
