Coriande rice - kothamalli satham

               

                         
This is one of the simplest recipes to make in a morning rush of our day by day routine.And also I would like to add this green leafy veggie in whatever food I make, as it is rich in iron content(oops!! 70% of the ladies are anaemic ie lack of HB otherwise iron) and also got addicted to its  nice aroma .  It is a good alternative for the variety rice recipes which we prepare quite often. Can be added in the lunch box menu for kids .U can also make the paste (specified under) the night before and refrigerate it (just like puliyogare paste) & use it whenever needed . I came across this recipe while surfing for quick and easy recipes. Hope u will enjoy the texture n taste of this recipe :) .
