Begin by grinding the rolled oats into a coarse powder using a blender or food processor.
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, ground oats, millet flour, ground flaxseeds, and salt. Mix well.
Add the water gradually to the dry ingredients while stirring with a spoon or your hands. Add the olive oil and continue to mix until the dough begins to come together.
Knead the dough in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes. The dough should be smooth and pliable. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Flatten each dough ball slightly, dust with flour, and use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into a thin circle, approximately 6-7 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium-high heat. Once it is hot, place a rolled out chapati on the skillet.
Cook the chapati on one side until bubbles form, about 30 seconds, then flip it over using tongs or a spatula.
Cook for another 30 seconds on the second side, pressing gently with a spatula to encourage it to puff up.
Flip again and cook for another 15 seconds or until small brown spots begin to appear.
Remove from the skillet and keep the chapati warm in a covered container or lined with a clean cloth.
Repeat steps 7-11 for the remaining dough balls.
Serve hot with your choice of curry, stew, or any accompaniment.
