CAN I USE LEFTOVER RICE FOR CORIANDER LEAVES VARIETY RICE?
yes, it is one perfect way to finish leftover rice/ cold rice. If you are using leftover rice make sure you keep the rice at room temperature for some time. Warm the rice, spread the rice on a plate then use it.
FLUFFY RICE
If you are making Kalandha sadham with freshly cooked rice make sure you spread the rice on a plate till the steam goes off. I generally add a few drops of oil while cooking rice as it helps fluffy rice. You can also add sesame oil while cooling rice.
WHAT KIND OF RICE SHOULD I USE?
I generally use basmati rice. You can also use Sona masoori rice/ raw rice / brown rice/hand point rice/millet. Cook the rice well but not mushy. Avoid al dente cooking for better digestion.
WHAT TASTES BEST WITH KOTHAMALLI SADAM?
Rice tastes best with varuval variety,curd based kuzhambu, kootu varietycurd based recipes, pickle varieties, vadam varieties, savory bakshanam, masala vada or pakoda
Should I saute coriander leaves?
No, just add washed coriander leaves after turning the stove and give a quick mix 3 times. The pan got is enough for the coriander leaves.
Coriander leaves -Tips to notes
- Always use fresh leaves
- You can use thin stem but avoid thick stem
- Wash the coriander leaves well then prepare rice
- Leaves can have moisture but shouldn't drip water
Can I skip the lemon juice
Lemon juice lemons retain the green color. I would recommend it. You can add little tamarind instead of lemon juice.
