Kothimbir Vadi or Kothambir Wadi literally translated means Coriander Wedges is a popular Maharashtrian veg snack recipe made using lots of coriander.

India’s most loved herb Coriander aka Dhania is loaded with nutrition and this simple recipe using fresh coriander leaves and besan (gram flour) is steamed and then cut into squares or wedges. it can be served as it after steaming but the more popular version is to fry them after steaming. This gives them a crisp outside and a soft inside.

Sesame or peanuts give them slight nutty taste. In case you want to replace coriander leaves in the recipe you can do so by add spinach leaves to it.

Once the kothambir badi is steamed you can cut them as it and serve or you may temper it with mustards seeds, curry leaves and grated coriander or can shallow/deep fry them and serve.

Chutney is very important with this vadi because it has besan (gram flour) which tends to give a dry mouth feel. The spring onions give a subtle onion taste to the chutney and is a healthy chutney recipe that you can serve with a variety of dishes.

Steps

For Kothambir Vadi

Wash the chopped coriander in water, shake off the excess and place in a parat or a platter. Add besan, salt, chilli, turmeric, garam masala, green chillies, cumin sugar, heeng, til, lemon, rice flour and water. Now mix then up and gently mash up the ingredients with your hands for 5 mins.

This gentle mashing will allow coriander to start loosing its water and make the ingredients come together as a dough ball.

Make sure not to add excess water nut just a few spoons as mentioned in the ingredient list. Once it comes together drizzle oil and keep aside. Take a glass bowl, a deep steel plate or any bowl that can be used for steaming. Apply a little oil on the inside of the bowl and place the kothambadi dough in it. Using your fingers press it to level it from all sides. I am using a glass bowl of the this dimension 13.5cmx13.5cmx3.5cm (LxBxH).

You can steam this in a steamer for 15mins if you have a steamer at home. The other way is to boil water in a large handi, place a metal ring or katori. On this ring or katori place the bowl to steam, just make sure that water should not touch the bowl. Steam for 15mins and then remove.
