Kothamalli Chutney | Coriander chutney | Dhaniya chutney or green chutney (which my kiddos used to tell) is a simple one to make and a yet a tasty chutney to go with Idli | Dosa and sometimes with Curd rice too. My mom makes this Kothamalli chutney without coconut and dal. Though i like that way , since kiddos want this version of Kothamalli chutney, i made this few days back. Here is the recipe for Kothamalli chutney| Coriander chutney which makes a perfect side dish for idli and dosa. I added 2 small onions to this chutney, but it is truly optional. You can make a no onion no garlic version too.

Thanks for visiting my space shoba. the comment set up allows only google account users, i think be cause of that it is not allowing wordpress. Saw ur comment in Coconut rice post too, but forgot to reply. sorry about that
It is hard to find Indian spices here in Australia. I would love to try these dishes. Indians are very good at making outstandingly delicious food. Thanks for sharing the recipes, I'll make it in my own kitchen as I get time this weekend.
