KOTHMIR SUBZI

Kothmir or green coriander is very good for health.  The juice taken in empty stomach helps in reducing the sugar level  in the body thus suggested for diabetic patients.  Otherwise also, it gives a good taste and aroma in the subzi or dal or sambar.

The chutney made out of this can be spread in bread while making sandwich, chaat items etc.
