Kothamalli chutney or thogayal goes well with rice, dosa, idly and even bread - plain and toasted. Adjust the tangy-ness by increasing or decreasing the amount of tamarind paste. We like it moderately sour.
Ingredients: Fresh coriander leaves / kothamalli / malliyila / kotamiri - a bunch, chopped Grated coconut - ½ cup Red chillies - 2 Green chillies - 2 Tamarind paste - 2 teaspoon (readymade paste may not taste great) Urad dal - ½ tsp
How to Make Kothamalli Thogayal:
Heat very little oil in a non stick kadai and fry the dal for 2 minutes. Add the red chillies, green chillies and chopped coriander leaves and fry well for about 2-3 minutes.
Next, add the coconut and mix well on sim. Remove from fire and cool well.
Grind the above with the tamarind paste and necessary salt, adding as little water as possible.
