Coriander Rice/ Kothamalli Rice

Coriander or Cilantro leaves are used as a flavoring agent in many International cuisines. In Indian cuisines as well, most recipes stand unfull without the touch of cilantro garnishing. Apart from being a culinary spice, coriander has its own health benefits too.
  • Helps in the digestion process.
  • A good anti-inflammatory agent and an anti-oxidant.
  • Appetite inducer.
  • Coriander seeds promote certain enzymes which control blood sugar.
  • Good for heart and skin.
Cooking without coriander leaves let us get a 'missing something' feel, isn't it? Starting from a bowl of soup to a plate of salad, coriander leaves play a major role in almost all the recipes. Just think of making coriander as the main ingredient. Oh my Gosh! How flavorful this Coriander rice would be?
