When I go for weekly shopping coriander will be in my shopping list. Most of the times, half of the bunch will be left over in the fridge, and my immediate thought to make use of it would be this Coriander Chutney recipe / Kothamalli Chutney in Tamil. Coriander or Cilantro or Chinese parsley is commonly known as kothamalli. It is mostly used for garnishing in cooking purposes. This coriander has numerous health benefits with minerals and vitamins. The most popular health benefit is it prevents nausea, vomiting and other stomach disorders.
