hariyali mutter sabzi is a semi dry North Indian popular sabji. Learn how to make healthy hariyali mutter paneer in coriander paste.

This hariyali mutter sabzi recipe is especially for the people who love coriander. The coriander and garlic paste has an amazing flavour which makes this North Indian hariyali matar sabzi even richer.

There are dozens of ways of cooking mutter, but this one truly tingles the taste buds thanks to the dominance of coriander in the masala for hariyali mutter sabzi.

hariyali mutter comprises healthy ingredients and cooking methods, thereby strengthening the heart and controlling blood glucose levels too.

Hariyali Matar Sabzi is generally considered a healthy and beneficial choice for individuals managing diabetes, heart health, and weight loss, primarily due to its core ingredients. The main component, green peas (matar), is rich in fiberand protein, which promotes satiety and helps in the slow release of sugar into the bloodstream, making it diabetic-friendly (low GI). The recipe specifies coconut oil (or 2 tsp oil total), which keeps the fat content minimal. Key spices like cumin seeds, nigella seeds, asafoetida, and ginger are known for aiding digestion and supporting heart health. The use of coriander (dhania), which forms the "hariyali" paste, provides essential antioxidants and is often linked to lowering bad cholesterol levels, further benefiting the cardiovascular system and weight management goals.

 

For optimal health benefits, the inclusion of low-fat milk and low-fat paneer provides lean protein without excessive saturated fat, supporting muscle maintenance crucial for weight loss. While the dish is highly beneficial, the amount of green chilli used (3 roughly chopped) should be controlled or reduced if the individual has sensitivity or acidity issues, which can sometimes complicate heart and weight management diets. Overall, when paired with healthy grains like bajra roti or phulkas instead of rich parathas, this fiber-rich and protein-packed sabzi serves as an excellent, nutritious, and low-calorie addition to a balanced diet for all three health goals.

 

To make Hariyali Mutter more acidity‑friendly, reduce or skip the green chillies, use less garlic and ginger, keep lemon juice very mild or add only a few drops at the end, and cook the gravy well so it is smooth and not too spicy, pairing it with soft phulkas rather than fried breads.

Hariyali Mutter Sabzi is rich in Vitamin C, A, Fiber, Calcium and Protein.
