Coriander Rice

Published: | LAST UPDATED ON: Mar 14, 2022 by Lubna Karim

As you all know, I am one of the Super Contributor in Recipe Dairy Contest by Nags of Edible Garden. As a part of this contest, Nags gracefully sent me an delectable cookbook named Southern Spice by Chandra Padmanabhan. I received this book on last Wednesday.

Cookbook

Thank you so much Nags for the contest and awesome cookbook. Southern Spice by Chandra Padmanabhan is a palatable cookbook with Delicious Vegetarian Recipes from South India. With droolworthy pictures, easy to understand glossary and with scrummy recipes this book tops my cookbook chart. I made this Coriander Rice from this cookbook only. It is awesome and worth trying. This Coriander Rice recipe not only calls for vegetables but also the aromatic fresh coriander leaves when grind with green chilles gives an amazing flavour to the rice. This is for the first time I made this recipe and it is a superb hit.

Coriander Rice

Coriander | Cilantro | Dhania | Kothimbir | Kothimir(a) | Kothambari | Kothamalli |Malli are various names of this aromatic herb in different languages. Coming to the recipe, I made little changes to the recipe to suit my palate.
