Notes

  1. Coriander rice 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. No need to saute coriander leaves, 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
  5. Lemon juice lemons retain the green color. I would recommend it. You can add little tamarind instead of lemon juice
  6. Add chilli according to your taste. You can add extra for tempering 
  7. You can add boiled peas or vegetables of your choice

Coriander leaves -Tips to notes

  1. Always use fresh leaves
  2. You can use thin stem but avoid thick stem
  3. Wash the coriander leaves well then prepare rice
  4. Leaves can have moisture but shouldn't drip water
