CORIANDER GUN POWDER RICE, KOTHAMALLI POWDER RICE, KOTHAMALLI PODI SADAM

Coriander gun powder is a substitute for the normal gun powder for Idli, Dosa.  We have it normally with dal rice, curd rice.  I also have it along with curd for  Idli, Dosa.  I have already posted coriander rice  in the blog.  This rice is different from that one which is already posted and really tastes awesome.  Coriander gun powder is made with urid dal, fresh coriander leaves, red chilly etc.  watch on youtube: coriander gun powder rice
