Kottimeera Fry(Coriander leaves fry)

Hi All,

Its good to be back on the blog after many months. Today i will be discussing about a recipe shared by my friend.One day when I was having lunch with my friends , Malathy had this delicious curry for the lunch. I loved it when I first tasted it and immediately took a TOI (transfer of Information) of the recipe.

1.Chopped Coriander leaves - 1 Cup.
2.Besan / Chane Ka Atta /Gram flour -1 table spoon.
3. Red chill powder 2-3 tea spoons ( depends on the spiciness needed).
4. Salt to taste.
5.Haldi /turmeric -1/2 tea spoon.
6. Urad dal/ Black Gram Sabut.- 1 tea spoon
7.Jeera/Cumin Seeds -1/2  tea spoon.
8.Mustard  - 1/2 tea spoon.
9.Oil - 1 table spoon.


Preparation Method :

1.Heat Oil in a pan and then add Cumin seeds and Mustard seeds . Let them pop. Then add the Black Gram and fry them in oil in a low flame.

2. When the black gram is fried (Normally takes around 30 sec for the black gram to fry and should be  light golden color when completely fried) add turmeric and then add chopped coriander leaves and fry them in the oil with out closing the pan with a lid.

3.It will take around 5 to 7 min to fry the coriander on a low flame . wait until coriander is little crispy.

then add the besan , red chill powder  and slat and cook for another 2 minutes. make sure that there are no lumps in the besan and sieve it if necessary .

This curry would be a very good side dish for sambar ,pappu pulusu and papucharu. Tastes very good when combined with curd rice.

Happy cooking.
