Today I
am posting a very healthy, flavourful and delectable Kothamalli Thogaiyal. I
love this thogaiyal, because of its course texture, slightly tangy and spicy
taste and packed with flavours. Kothamalli thogaiyal does not get spoilt very
easily for about 5-6 days when handled properly with clean spoon. It is rich in
vitmains, minerals and packed with fiber. When making either kothamalli chutney
or kothamalli thogaiyal, don’t just use the leaves, use the tender part of the
stem also, it is loaded with fiber and helps in digestion. Before going into
the recipe do check out other Chutney and thogaiyal varieties here.
Here’s
how to make Kothamalli Thogaiyal with step by step photos…

Method
Chop
the roots of the cilantro bunch. Soak them in the water for about 5 minutes to
get rid of dirt and sand. Wash it thoroughly at least 2-3 times to get rid of
all the mud.
Heat 1
tsp of oil in a kadai, fry urad dal and dry red chillies until it changes to
golden brown colour. Now transfer them to a plate.
In the
same kadai, add the cilantro/kothamalli and toss around for few minutes and
switch off the stove. Let the dal and the cilantro cool really well.
Now
transfer the cilantro/kothamalli and the sautéed dal to the mixer and grind it
along with tamarind and salt to a coarse paste with very little water.
Heat
rest of the oil in a kadai, add the ground paste and saute for about 3-4
minutes or until there is no water.
Delicious,
healthy and flavorful Kothamalli/Cilantro Thogaiyal is ready to be enjoyed.
Serve
it hot with white rice, it is also a perfect accompaniment for idlis, dosas,
rotis etc.
You can also spread it on bread to make sandwiches.
