I have grown up eating poha for breakfast atleast once in a week along with idli ,dosa ,upma.My mom usually used to sneak in 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.
Recently i had been hearing about hariyali sabudana khichdi, hariyali pav bhaji so thought of trying out poha with extra zing of green masala paste.It turned out great.So whenever you are planning to make poha ,try this new poha made with green masala paste.I am sure you will love it.
Tips & Variations to Make Best Hariyali Poha
To make poha you can use medium to thick flakes variety.Thin poha is not suitable because once we rinse in water it will get mushy.
You can make this poha with red or white variety poha.
When preparing poha after rinsing them make sure to press a flake, if its 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.
You can also garnish with some fresh grated coconut.
