Oats-Cabbage Paratha (Indian Flatbread)

A quick breakfast is what we all need on a busy packed day. And we Indians love our paratha's don't we? Well in my house our aim for breakfast has always been that it should be quick and healthy.  Oats is packed with nutrients that benefits our overall health.
