Malliyila Chammandi/Kothamalli Chutney/Coriander Chutney
Coriander, also known as cilantro, is a welcome addition into any kitchen. Technically, the leaves are the cilantro and the seeds are the coriander, but this seems to mean one and the same these days. Moderately priced, this delightful herb can easily be found in tiny markets as well as monolithic superchains. When I saw that this month's Jihva for Ingredients (JFI) hosted by Mahanandi is on fresh leafy green vegetables, I had no second thoughts about which one to use. Also, my recipes here are meant to be simple (suitable for bachelors) and remind me of mom. This was a usual snack packed for school :)
My entry for this month's JFI (Also trying to get better at photography!)
Coriander Chutney
What I used:
Freshly grated coconut : 1 cup
Chopped coriander leaves : 1 cup
Green chillies : 3
Lemon juice : 1 teaspoon
Sugar : 1 teaspoon
Cumin seeds or powder : 1/2 teaspoon
Salt : to taste
How I made it:
Put all ingredients in a small blender. Blend till smooth adding very little water as required. Use on buttered or non-buttered bread for sandwiches. It also goes with rice and curd though bread is definitely the more popular and favourite accompaniment.
