Kothimbir Vadi is a very popular traditional Maharashtrian dish. You can find it in Maharastrian weddings.
You can have it as a tea time snack or as a side dish during your lunch / dinner. Just enjoy it the way you like.
It is made using Coriander leaves, gram flour & some spices. Here is my version of preparing Kothimbir Vadis.
Ingredients:
- Coriander leaves 1 bunch
- Gram Flour 1 & 1/2 cup
- Rice Flour 2 tbsp
- Roasted Peanut powder 1/3 cup
- Crushed ginger-garlic-chili paste 1 tsp
- Mustard seeds 1 tsp
- Oil 1 tbsp
- Asafetida 1 tsp
- Turmeric powder 1 tsp
- Salt to taste
- Water
- Clean, wash & Chop coriander leaves roughly. Set aside.
- Heat a pan.
- Add oil to it.
- Now add mustard seeds. When they pop, add asafetida, turmeric, ginger-garlic-green chili paste. Sauté.
- Add roughly chopped coriander leaves, gram flour, rice flour, salt to taste, roasted peanut powder. Stir well. Add water around 2 & 1/2 cups. Stir well.
- Cook till all moisture is evaporated & the mixture becomes thick.
- Remove the mixture in a square tray. Set the mixture well in it. Grease your hands with oil so that the mixture doesn't stick to your hands.
- Leave it to rest for 15 minutes or until the mixture cools down.
- With a butter knife cut into square shape slices. After every cut, dip the butter knife in cold water, so the mixture wont stick to the knife & spoil the shape.
- Now shallow fry each slice until golden in color.
- Cooking the mixture wont take more than 5 minutes.
- Cook the mixture on low - medium flame.
- As stated earlier while cutting the slices (vadis), dip butter knife in cold water so that it doesn't stick to the knife & the shape is not spoiled.
- You can even deep fry the vadis. But I tried to make it less oily by shallow frying.
