Coriander Rice | Kothamalli Satham | How to make Coriander Rice - Naughty Little BEES Kitchen

Winter started in Delhi with lots of pollution. But we do enjoy the weather with hot coffee & lots of snacks. Usually some of the vegetables like drumstick, coriander leaves won't be available in summer(from may to august) during winter(from November to February)  some of the vegetables like ridge gourd, snake gourd, mint leaves won't be available. After seeing the coriander leaves I was over excited, so many recipes with coriander leaves like coriander thokku, coriander chutney, coriander rice & so on was running in my mind(I look at the dishes mouthwatering in my dreams). I can felt the nice aroma of my sambar & rasam now by garnishing it with coriander leaves(over build up? 😁its ok).This is the Coriander rice made with some biryani spices.
