    Coriander Rice (Kothamalli Sadam)

    Jan 3, 2015 · 2 Comments

    My 30th recipe, "Coriander Rice (Kothamalli Sadam)", a simple and healthy South Indian variety rice, to continue the tradition of preparing variety rice on Margazhi Saturdays for Lord Balaji. This also doubles up and helps me keep up with my New Year resolution for the second day. It is the most healthy dish you could possibly prepare. Coriander and Ginger are a rich source of fiber, all essentials nutrients, minerals and vitamins. They are known to benefit the whole body and cure almost all diseases known and unknown to mankind 🙂 Will help you recover from all the sugar attack during the holidays and New Year celebrations.

    Notes | FAQ

    -In case of using left-over cooked rice from the fridge, in step 5, you can add it to the coriander mixture and saute for a few minutes in low flame until the rice heats ups.
    - I had used ½ the salt while cooking rice and remain salt to the coriander mixture.
