Repeat the same with remaining oats dough portions.

Heat a flat griddle on medium heat, brush half a tsp of oil all over the griddle.
Place the oats paratha on hot griddle and let it turn light golden brown with dark spots.
Add few drops of oil on uncooked side and turn it over to let it cook covered for few seconds.
When both sides are cooked properly, remove oats paratha onto a plate.
Repeat the same with remaining rolled out oats parathas.

Suggestions: If the oats paratha is not cooked properly, put it back on low heat and cook covered till its done. Also, grind the green chiles into paste instead of chopping them before adding to the oats mixture.
