Kothamalli Thokku/ Corriander Chutney

I had two bunch of corriander leaves, and as the herb mania-corriander event, hosted by siri, is ending today, i prepared this corriander/kothamalli thokku yesterday for dinner, to serve along with my Rava idli's. It was so tasty, with little tanginess, worth of trying it. It suit's best with Idli, Dosa. I got this recipe from Aval Vikatan's supplement- 30 Thokku Varieties.

Ingredients:

Corriander Leaves - 2 bunch(4 cups)

Round Red Chilli - 5 (this will be of medium spice)

Fenugreek seeds - 1/2 tsp

Asafoetida powder - 1/4 tsp

Oil - 3 tsp

Mustard - 1/4 spoon

Tamarind - a small lemon size

Method:

Wash the Corrainder Leaves.

In a pan, heat a spoon of oil, add the red chilli, fenugreek and roast them till they get color changed. now add asafoetida powder and mix them. switch off the flame and pass them to the mixer grinder.

Add the washed corriader leaves, tamarind, salt as per taste and little water. grind them well.

Now in the pan heat the remaining oil, add mustard, when it cracks, add the grinded paste and let it boil for 5 minutes.

After that reduce the flame and stir them till they start sticking to pan. it should go dark green in colour, thats the end point.

Note:

i used just 3 red chilli's in place of 10 chilli's, as we don't prefer very spicy thokku.

Serve with Hot Idli's. I served it with Rava Idli's.

This corriander chutney is on its way to Herb Mania created by Dee, now hosted by Siri.
