Hariyali Poha | Green Masala Poha | Harabhara Poha

Hariyali Poha or Green masala poha is an easy, healthy and flavourful breakfast recipe that can be prepared within 15 minutes.

It is made with beaten rice or flatten rice which is a good source of Iron and vitamin A and the recipe also includes lemon juice which has vitamin C that ensures the better absorption of Iron, so you get most of the nutrients out of it.

The vibrant green color of this Harabhara poha or green poha comes from freshly ground coriander leaves(cilantro) and mint leaves, which gives it wonderful aroma and flavour too.

It is not only delicious and healthy but also attractive, my kids loves it too with the lovely green color.

You can even add some more color by adding some  pomegranate seeds on top which goes really well with it or some fresh coconut if you like. It can also be enjoyed as an healthy evening snack.

It is tasty and satisfying.
