KOTHAMALLI PODI/CORIANDER LEAVES POWDER

This kothamalli podi or coriander leaves powder is one authentic recipe of our household.We all know of curry leaves powder,but this involves pounding of one or more spices together to a coarse form.My daughter loves it to the core and often asks my MIL to make it for her.This is an easy recipe and goes well with mor kuzhambu.The point to be noted here is you should use only fresh green leaves as the give a nice earthy flavour to the podi.The spices and chilles add a nice flavour and overall when mixed with rice tastes simply superb.Try this out and let me know..
