Kale Oats Paratha – Kale Indian Flatbread

I think I’m in love with Kale 😉 … .It’s one vegetable that I can’t get enough, it tastes great raw or cooked and with so many benefits…I can say it’s one real healthy affair.

Kale Oats Paratha – Kale Indian Flatbread Ingredient

• Kale – fresh or frozen
• Quick Oats – you can even use oats flour or just pulse whatever kind of plain oats you have.
• Whole Wheat Flour (Atta) – you can use all-purpose flour (maida) too.
• Flaxseed (Alsi)
• Turmeric Powder (Haldi Powder)
• Salt
• Oil – any light oil would do

This Meatless Monday I’m sharing an easy recipe combining ‘Kale and Oats’ with some added ingredients to take Indian flatbread to a super healthy level.

If you are new to flatbread/paratha, they are traditional Indian flatbread that is usually triangular in shape, cooked over a pan with little oil.

They can be made plain/sweet/savory as per choice.

For this particular recipe, I’m using turmeric and flaxseed as I love the flavor of both in this combination however you can omit this step as per choice (it won’t effect the ratio of any other ingredients).

I’m adding a little bit of whole wheat flour to the dough to give it a lighter soft or I can say melt in your mouth texture.

They can be eaten plain or you can serve them with a hot Red Chili Pickle (Lal Mirch ka Achaar)or even Indian Sweet Mango Chutney Recipe (Chunda)

These Kale Oats Paratha – Kale Indian Flatbread can even be stored for upto 2 days in the fridge.

And I feel it’s a great way of using any extra raw kale that you are not able to consume right away and fear might go wasted.

1. In a food processor, add oats and pulse to form fine powder/flour consistency (Can take upto 1-2 minutes depending on the food processor)
