Kothimbir Wadi is a Maharashtrian delicacy made from fresh coriander and besan (gram flour).It is consumed in steamed, shallow-fried, baked, or deep-fried form with food and even as a snack.
The way in which Kothimbir wadi is made varies from region to region and varies even in every household. But the basic ingredients remain the same. This time I have given the traditional recipe a slight twist by changing one of its core ingredients i.e. besan. I have replaced besan with jowar flour. And guess what, it turned out pretty amazing. That’s exactly why it is here on the blog too.
Fresh coriander leaves ( From the local farmers market) – 1 bunch i.e. approx 2 cups ( washed, cleaned, and dried under the fan to remove moisture)
Jowar flour- 1 to 1 1/2 cups
Red chili powder-2 tsp
Turmeric-1 tsp
Salt as per taste
Ginger- garlic- optional ( * I have not used it)
Sesame seeds-3tbsp
Water- 1-1 1/2 cup
Oil ( For kneading and shallow frying)- 2+4 tsp
Special note: Steamed and Shallow fried is a healthier option.
