What are Hariyali Ramen Noodles?

Hariyali means green. In this case, hariyali means a green sauce, and so Hariyali Ramen Noodles are essentially ramen noodles cooked in a green sauce.

This green sauce is cilantro chutney that's flavored with cilantro, ginger, garlic, green chilies, peanuts, lemon juice, cumin seeds, and salt.
