Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 cup finely chopped kale [chopped using food processor]
  • ¼ cup finely chopped scallion or spring onion [only the white part]
  • 1 green chili (finely chopped)
  • ½ inch ginger (finely chopped)
  • 1.5 cups whole wheat flour (also known as atta in India, some more to roll the parathas)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garam masala
  • 1.5 teaspoons oil (some more to cook the parathas)
  • water (to knead the dough)

Instruction

  • Wash kale leaves and dry them thoroughly. Place them in a food process and chop finely. Do use food processor here because we want the kale leaves to be chopped very fine.
  • To the chopped kale add chopped ginger, green chili and scallions (white part only).
  • Add whole wheat flour (atta), salt and garam masala and mix everything together.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and mix it well.
  • Start adding water little by little to the flour mix while mixing it all together.
  • Knead with your hands till everything comes together as a dough. The dough should be soft and smooth.
  • Smear 1/2 teaspoon of oil on top of the dough, knead it and then cover and let the dough rest for around 30 minutes, preferably in the refrigerator.
  • After the dough has rested, divide it into 6 equal round balls.
  • Take 1 ball and dip it in some atta. Press to flatten it. In the meanwhile place the tawa/griddle on medium heat.
  • Using your rolling pin, roll the dough to a 8 inch circle. I made these parathas quite thin, the stuffed ones are usually on the thicker side.
  • Transfer the rolled paratha on the hot griddle. The griddle should be hot at this point.
  • Once the side facing down cooks a little and you see some golden spots, flip the paratha. Wait for few seconds for the other side to cook a little and then apply oil on the side facing you.
  • Flip again and press the paratha with your spatula to cook the oiled side. Now apply oil on the 2nd side as well, flip and repeat the same.
  • Make all the remaning 5 parathas in the same way.
  • Serve warm kale paratha with yogurt and pickle on the side!
