Whether you're focusing on versatile homemade bread or accommodating dietary needs, these mixed grain chapatis are a delicious addition to any table.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, millet flour, and oat flour.
Add the salt and mix well to evenly distribute.
Gradually add the water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously with a spoon or your hand until a craggy dough forms.
Add the olive oil and knead the dough inside the bowl until it becomes smooth and elastic. This should take approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15 minutes. This helps to make the chapatis softer.
After the dough has rested, divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Lightly dust a clean working surface and a rolling pin with additional flour.
Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly with your fingers. Use the rolling pin to roll it out into a thin disc, about 6 inches in diameter.
Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or tawa over medium-high heat.
Place the rolled dough on the hot skillet. Cook until you see bubbles form on the surface, about 1 minute.
Flip the chapati and gently press the spatula on different parts of the chapati. This helps it puff up and cook evenly. Cook for another 1 minute.
Flip once more and cook for a final 30 seconds, ensuring it's well cooked. The chapati should have golden brown spots.
Transfer the cooked chapati to a plate lined with a clean kitchen towel. Cover to keep warm while you repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough portions.
Serve the nut-free mixed grain chapatis warm with your favorite curry or side dishes.
