Coriander-Gooseberry-Yogurt-Chutney

#CorianderGooseberryYogurtChutney [ #KothamalliNellikkaiThyirChutney ] : During winter season vegetable markets are filled with fresh #corianderleaves. Generally coriander is used in small quantities for garnishing a dish and mainly it is added to the dish for its aroma. It is also a rich source of vitamins and minerals, especially Vitamin C and iron.
Coriander should be included in our daily diet in large quantities to get its valuable nutrients.
Gooseberry is also one of the important sources of vitamin C.
So I have tried a chutney along with nellikkai [ gooseberry - amla ] and curd.
Here comes the recipe.

Ingredients :
1 cup	Coriander leaves
2 or 3	Nellikkai [ Gooseberry - amla ]
1/3 cup	Thick Curd
7 to 8	Green chilly
8 to 10	Small Onion
small piece	Ginger
3/4 Tsp	Salt [ adjust ]
1 to 2 Tsp	Lemon Juice [ adjust ]

Method :

• Beat the curd and set aside.
• Wash nellikkai and coriander leaves well in water.
• Steam cook nellikkai in an idli maker or cooker for 8 minutes.
• Remove seeds.
• Take all the ingredients except lemon juice and curd.
• Grind into a smooth paste.
• The water content present in the leaves and onion is just enough to grind them into a smooth paste.
• Finally add curd & lemon juice and make into a smooth paste.
• Adjust salt and mix well.
• Transfer into a serving bowl.
• Garnish with coriander leaves.

An excellent side dish for idli, upma, pongal and dosai.

This chutney can be used as a dip with all kinds of savory like pakoda, bajji, samosa etc.,..

Microwave HIGH for 1 1/2 minnutes and take out.

Add tomato pieces into the same bowl and add 2 drops of oil over the tomato pieces.

Microwave for 45 seconds.

Green Coriander Seeds Chutney

#GreenCorianderSeedsChutney : On Pongal day when we went to Vegetable market to buy greens and onions, we saw bunches of small plants with green pods. After close examination.we learned that those were coriander plants with seeds

 I asked the vendor what could be prepared with these plants. Then she told that these seeds are used to garnish various dishes just like coriander leaves. I bought a bunch and after coming home separated all the seeds from the plant. Then stored them in fridge. Daily I am experimenting with these green coriander seeds. Let me give in detail how I prepared a chutney from these seeds.

 Ingredients :

3 Tsp                                 Green coriander seeds
1/2 Cup                             Coriander leaves chopped
10 to 12                            Green chilly
8 to 10                              Small Onion
1/2 Tsp                             Salt

Method :
Take all the ingredients in a jar of mixer grinder.
Grind without adding water.

The water content of onions and coriander leaves is enough to make into a paste.

If necessary add little water and grind into a coarse paste.
Transfer into a serving bowl.
Thats'  it. Green chutney is ready!!

It tastes very good with Dosai and Idli.
