Coriander Leaves Chutney - Kothamalli Chutney Tamilnadu Style

Print Friendly and PDF



Tamil nadu hotel style coriander chutney( Kothamalli Chutney) is a popular side dish for idli, dosa. This green chutney can be prepared with coriander leaves or mint leaves( pudina). I have already posted a green chutney similar to restaurant style. This is my second version. I usually make this for idli. I use mint leaves or coriander leaves and sometimes with both. You can call this as kothamalli pudina chutney. It tastes great in all the way..I got this recipe from a restaurant style recipes book..U’ll get a nice green color and i am sure u’ll like this a lot..

INGREDIENTS
1 cup - 250ml

  • Grated coconut  - 1/2 cup
  • Green chillies –   3-4 nos ( add more if u want spicy)
