Hope you all had a happy Ganesh chaturthi. We had a small pooja at home, kids had a lovely time. After all that heavy eating for the festival, we craved for something simple. I prepared these Kale parathas last week and they came out really good.
People are going crazy about Kale or leafy cabbage these days. You hear about kale chips, kale soup etc. I have tried earlier to include this in our diet. My family was not very impressed with it. Personally I liked kale soup. This time I thought of completely hiding it in some dish. I make spinach parathas very often and my kids love it. So I decided to make kale parathas. They came out really good. I quickly clicked some pictures to post it here.

Cook/steam kale. Grind into paste and add spices.
Add flour and knead into dough.
Roll into parathas.
Roast on hot tava and serve hot.

Soooper dish. Yummy and Good for health
Nice idea of preparing kale paratha.I make methi,palak sometimes mint paranthe.While making paranthas with leaves I always add some gram floor ,turmeric ,hing and ajwain.This makes paranthas good looking with amazing taste.
Good way to hide it from kids eyes while including it in their diet.
seems to be looking good
I’ll surely try it
Thanks
