Kale na Thepla

I was introduced to Kale Thepla by my best friend and since then I have been a fan. Whenever I bring Kale, I must make these Theplas once as my son would not eat Kale otherwise. I also think it’s the best way to get all the greens in our system. So sharing this quick and easy recipe that you will love. I already know how much you all love Thepla, try the Kale version and I am sure you will love it as much.
