Kothamalli vethai podi (Dry Coriander seed rice mix powder)

Kothamalli vethai podi (Dry Coriander rice mix powder) - Preparation time 20 mins
Mom's recipe. I love this podi. Even if she keeps sambar and dry curry for lunch I would like to have this podi along with sesame oil and sambar as side dish to this rice. I don't know this combination will be very tasty and goes well. You can also try tasting that way.

Ingredients:-

Dry coriander seeds - 1 cup
Red chili - 6 to 8 (to your taste)
Rock salt - as required

Preparation method:-

In a tawa dry roast the coriander seeds. Kindly do in the very low flame then only it will be roasted well and color of the coriander will change to deep brown. (Take care else it will get burnt if you cook in high flame and the podi won't smell good).
Roast the red chili till it is crisp and dark red.
Add salt and leave coriander and chili to cool. 
In a mixer grind the roasted ingredients to fine powder.
You can mix this podi with white rice and tsp of sesame oil. The taste will linger in your tongue.
