Pachi Kothimira Pachadi - Raw Coriander Chutney
Regular readers of my blog will know that I’m a huge fan of fresh coriander leaves. Pachi kothimira pachadi is a very simple recipe that is easy to make, healthy and flavorful. This authentic pachadi, one of Andhra’s raw food side dishes, makes a excellent pachadi with famed Andhra Pesarattu. This humble pachadi with a tangy-sweet flavor due to the tamarind and jaggery and subtle spice taste of the green chillis, is prepared by grinding raw coriander leaves with tamarind and green chillis.

Hi Sailu,
ur Kothmira pachadi is quite healthy and look yummy too…thanks for sharing:) I also love Coriander and always have it in my kitchen.
So green, so fresh!
i made a similar chutney yesterday with egg dosa. i love coriander too and have been planning to plant some at home
there is north indian version of this where mint leaves and onion are also added. but this certainly gives a very different flavour.
I’m also a huge fan och fresh coriander leaves! I simply love it!

Hi Sailu,
This is the first time I am writing to you, but believe me, from 6 months or so, I visit your blog as regularly as I visit my gmail account. I love your blog, the healthy and scrumptious recipies, and delightful pictures. It is great help for a novice like me, just married and moved from Mumbai to Folsom, California.
A day before, I prepared the dosa batter. Dosas could be spread very nicely on griddle when I made them after the batter was fermanted. But they did not come out well, could not be spread thinly on griddle after I had refridgerated the batter. Do we need to take out the batter from fridge 3-4 hrs before we want to prepare the batter?
An answer to this question will be greatly appreciated..
Thanks in advance,
Sonal
Thank you for your sweet words, Sonal and I’m glad my blog is of help to you.:)
You should not have any issues with refrigerated dosa batter, Sonal. Maybe you could take it out a few minutes before preparing dosas. Add a few tbsps water to the batter and combine well. Heat the griddle well and do the sprinkle test and reduce heat and then pour the batter and prepare the dosa. Hope this helps, Sonal.
That looks quite colourful….
But how long can i keep it refrigerated???
It will stay fresh for atleast a week to ten days if refrigerated.
Wow you have given new dimension to coriander chutney…looks fab
Thank you so much Sailu,
I followed your advice and things shaped up very well, literally
Thanks again.. Look forward to your new recipe.
Sonal
its a little different from the chutney with garlic and ginger in it. I will try it sometime.
Hello Sailu, I am a huge fan of your blog. I was posting about tomato upma on my blog, and used a pic of yours as well as adapted your recipe. I have of course given you the credit for it, but also wanted to let you know. Keep the good work going!
so nice!!!!
