Coriander Leaves Chutney – Kothamalli Chutney Tamilnadu Style

March 6, 2025 | By

Tamil nadu hotel style coriander chutney( Kothamalli Chutney) is a popular side dish for idli, dosa. This green chutney can be prepared with coriander leaves or mint leaves( pudina). I have already posted a green chutney similar to restaurant style. This is my second version. I usually make this for idli. I use mint leaves or coriander leaves and sometimes with both. You can call this as kothamalli pudina chutney. It tastes great in all the way..I got this recipe from a restaurant style recipes book..U’ll get a nice green color and i am sure u’ll like this a lot..
