Instructions

how to make Kothamalli chutney / side dish for dosa

  • Wash and drain the mint and coriander leaves well.
  • In a pan, add oil. Once hot add cumin, garlic and green chillies. Let cumin seeds splutter.
  • Now add tamarind, mint leaves and coriander leaves.
  • Sauté well. The leaves will start to wilt. Switch off the stove. Let it cool.
  • In a blender, add coconut and mint - coriander leaves mixture. With little water make it into a paste. It can be little coarse.
  • Now temper the chutney with items under “For Tempering”.
  • Serve with idly or dosa.

Notes

  • Sauteing the mint and coriander leaves is for avoiding the raw smell.
  •  You can also add 3 - 4 shallots while sauteing. It gives a nice taste to the chutney.
  •  In this recipe, I have added both mint and coriander leaves. You can even use either of those and follow the same steps.
