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.
I’m sure many of you would have tried kale in smoothie, salads, toast, eggs but these parathas top our Top 5 Kale Recipes and hence I thought you’ll try it too 🙂 (It’s really yum) !!!
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.
