Coriander is so aromatic that when we add these to most of the dishes as a garnish. But some dishes do require this for enhancing the flavour. Like when u add these to sambar or rasam it enhances the dish. So am going to give away a very easy to make recipe using coriander leaves as the main ingredient. This chutney no needs any cooking. So it is very easy to make and definitely a best option in every house in the busy mornings. It is a great combination for Idly or Dosa. You can add these in sandwiches also.

Hope you all will try and let me know how much you liked it.

METHOD

• Take all your ingredients.
• Put onion, green chili, coriander leaves, coconut, salt and tamarind paste in a blender.
• Add little water and blend everything together.
• Check taste and adjust accordingly.
• Transfer the contents to a small dish.
• Take a small pan and temper mustard, urad dal and dry red chili.
• Add this to the ground chutney.
• Serve with Idly/Dosa.

Note : Temper the urad dal till brown. This adds crunchiness to the chutney.

Don’t add more coconut as it will change the taste of the chutney. The hero of the chutney is coriander and not coconut.

This is called Malli thalai chutney also.
