I love the rich, dark green color of kale. When it’s cooked, the leaves become darker enhancing the beauty of the whole dish. This kale paratha I’m sharing today is one of the variations of the classic Indian parathas. As with all the parathas, the filling (in this case kale) needs to be precooked which is then incorporated into the flour. I’ve also added a little cumin and chilly powder for a spice kick. As you knead the dough, the green color of the kale steeps into it and gives a beautiful green hue. Serve these parathas with spicy pickle. Enjoy a super healthy meal!
