Coriander seeds chutney, Dhaniya chutney

Coriander seeds Chutney| Dhaniya chutney, an interesting chutney made using coriander seeds pairs up perfect with idli | dosa. Kothamalli vidai | vara kothamalli | Dhaniya in Tamil, the recipe of the chutney comes with  step by step pictorial explanation. I took video of coriander seed chutney recipe but somehow a part of it got missed. I recently had this chutney in a friend’s place and she told it is a common one in her place. Hooked by the taste of the Dhaniya chutney, i asked her for the recipe and i slightly tweaked it in the last part as i felt it should be crunchy, like how it was for the Kadalai paruppu chutney.

Notes:
  1. You can roast the urad dal and chana dal along with the dhaniya seeds too, but i want a crunchy texture to the chutney so i added in the last.
  2. You can reduce the coriander seeds to 2 tblsp, if you feel it is more.
  3. Coriander seed chutney is a perfect side dish for idli| dosa and even goes well with chapati too.
