Coriander Chutney /Kothamalli Chutney



Coriander chutney is an easy to make chutney,uses few ingredients and pairs very well idly,dosa.This chutney can even used as a spread for sandwiches.

The best part is,it has a good shelf life if it is stored in the refrigerator. If you want to store it for more than 2-3 days then coconut can be avoided.

The coriander leaves are home grown so used some of the tender stalks also.As the green leaves tend to oxidize,after grinding,a generous amount of tamarind is used to avoid.The original recipe uses shallots,as I ran out of it used half of the regular onion.Off to the recipe...........
