Cabbage Poha Recipe-Cabbage Capsicum Aval-Poha Recipes

October 9, 2015 by PadhuSankar 4 Comments

Cabbage poha is perfect for a quick and delicious breakfast or snack. All you need is just 2 main ingredients – cabbage and poha (aval). You can make this with cabbage alone but since I love the cabbage capsicum combination, I have added capsicum also. Whenever my kids are hungry in between meals, I make this delicious poha in a jiffy. They love it a lot. You can make it for kids as an after school snack. It hardly takes 10 minutes to make this cabbage capsicum poha. Today we will learn how to make cabbage poha following this easy recipe with step wise pictures.

    Tried this Aval Cabbage Capsicum recipe. Turned out awesome. I noticed you didnt add hing to it. If I add that will it be okay or spoil the taste ? Dont know the science behind it 🙂

    Adding a pinch of hing does not affect the taste of the dish. In fact it helps in digestion.

    My dear, you do not say when to add the mustard seed. I do not see it in the pictures either, but it is listed in the ingredients. Should it be added with the cumin in the beginning? I love poha it is sooo easy to cook with, and I really want to try this savory version. One other question, could I sometimes use onion and tomato, instead of capsicum and cabbage? (Kind of like you did in your bread upma recipe?) Would that come out tasty you think?
    I always love reading your recipes and have learned SO MUCH about Indian cooking from you! Hope to see a reply – thanks for this wonderful site!

      Thank you for liking my recipes Loren. Glad you found it useful. Mustard seeds are added along with cumin seeds but it is optional. I have missed it. I will update it. Thanks a lot for letting me know. Yes, you can use onion and tomato as in bread upma. Onion tomato poha is also very tasty.
