It can not only be eaten for a breakfast but also for an evening snack or lunch box.

Hariyali Poha | Poha in Green Masala served on a white plate garnished with coriander leaves

I have grown up eating poha for breakfast at least once a week along with idli, dosa, upma. My mom usually used to sneak in a few vegetables while making poha to make it more healthy.

My husband is a great fan of poha, he can eat it all day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So I keep trying to make different varieties like indori poha, kanda poha, or batata poha and now our new favorite also got added hariyali poha.

I recently heard about hariyali sabudana khichdi, hariyali pav bhaji, so I thought of trying out poha with an extra zing of green masala paste. It turned out great. So whenever you are planning to make poha, try this new poha made with the green masala paste. I am sure you will love it.

How to make Hariyali Poha

Take 1 cup of thick poha and wash well with water. Keep it aside in a bowl for 10 minutes, then squeeze excess water and keep aside.

Tips & Variations to make best Hariyali Poha

  • To make poha you can use medium to thick flakes variety. Thin poha is not suitable because it will get mushy once we rinse it in water.
  • You can make this poha with red or white variety poha.
  • When preparing poha after rinsing them make sure to press a flake, if it crushes well then it is good for cooking else sprinkle some more over water over it. See *Video for rinsing poha.
  • You can add some finely chopped beans and spinach to make it more nutritious, healthy, and green.
  • Make sure to saute green masala paste well else it will smell raw.
