Place 1 cup flour in a wide-rimmed steel platter or bowl. Add oil and water, knead into a firm dough, cover and set aside for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into about 4 small balls, place each ball on a board and with a rolling pin, roll out into a flatbread about 4 inches in circumference.
Heat a cast iron pan over medium heat until hot. Place the flatbread on the hot pan and cook until the bottom has brown spots, about 30 seconds, flip and cook the other side until it is slightly crisp.
Remove to a plate or a chapatti box and store until ready to serve
