Are you worried about a bunch of coriander leaves sitting in the refrigerator idle? Then immediately go through this coriander rice / kothamalli rice, with step by step pics and a short YouTube video. I never waste coriander leaves as I love the flavour, either use it for coriander chutney or veg biryani or sometimes this kothamalli sadam. It is a perfect one pot meal and ideal for lunch box too, as a simple potato chips / raitha / easy aloo fry is enough to have it happily.

Tips for Kothamalli Sadam

1. Use fresh and tender coriander leaves for a good taste.
2. May be for variation, an equal quantity of coriander and mint leaves can be used.
3. Always grind the coriander leaves, just before preparation, otherwise it changes slightly dark.
4. Instead of grinding coconut, 1/4 cup of thick coconut milk can be used. But don’t use water for grinding coriander leaves.
5. Even veggies like carrot, beans, green peas can be used for this kothamalli sadam recipe.
6. Adjust green chilli as per spice level preferred for this coriander rice recipe.
7. Don’t skip turmeric powder, as it lends vibrant colour to the rice.
8. May be any leftover rice, jeeraga samba rice or sona masoori can be used. I used basmati rice.
9. Above all, I suggest ghee for tempering for more flavour. But if you are calorie conscious, use oil.
10. Finally, It can be prepared as a one-pot meal in a pressure cooker for 3 whistles. But use 2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice.
