Today we had a bowl full of coriander leaves to spare. So heres my 20 minutes Coriander cutlets (Kothimbir vadi in marathi).
Ingredients:
Coriander leaves - Clean, dry, freshly chopped - 1 cup
Green chillies - finely chopped or crushed - 4 to 5
Garlic - crushed - 5 to 6 cloves
Gram floor - 1 cup
Red chilly powder - 1 table spoon
Garam masala - 1 tea spoon
Oil - 2 table spoons
Salt - To taste
Water - 2 cups
Cooking steps:
- Heat oil in a pan. Add mustered seeds and cumin seeds to it.
- When the seeds start to pop, put in crushed chillies and garlic.
- Sauté for minute then add chopped coriander to it. Add in red chilly powder, garam masala and salt.
- Pour water in the pan and let the mixture boil nicely for 5-7 minutes.
- Carefully add gram floor to it while constantly stirring to avoid lumps.
- Cover it and let it cook/steam for 5 minutes on medium heat.
- Greece a plate or tray with oil and put the cooked mixture on it.
- Spread the mixture uniformly by patting with wooden spatula. Use oil + water if using hand instead of spatula.
- Garnish with freshly grated coconut. Slice with the help of knife.
While serving:
Serve hot with roti.
The cutlets can also be shallow fried and served with curd or ketchup.
Do try this at home. Happy eating!
