Kothamali puli (Coriander leaves with tamarind)

Kothamali puli (Coriander leaves with tamarind) - Preparation time 10 mins
Mom used to make when she buys fresh coriander leaves. This will be very spicy and sour. Goes well with curd rice. Can be refrigerated and used for week.

Ingredients:-
Coriander leaves - 1 bunch (Washed well , remove the yellow leaves, dry the water and chop finely)
Tamarind paste - 1 tsp
Salt - to taste
Sesame oil - 1tbsp
Roasted and powdered red chili  - 1 tsp

Preparation method:-
If you do this using ammi and kozhavi it will be very tasty but, i used mixer because i don't have ammi in my home.
To a kadai add oil and chopped coriander. Sortae for few mins (till the water content goes off) and leave to cool.
In a mixer add coriander leaves, tamarind, salt and red chili powder. NO WATER.
Grind this coarsely. It should not be fine powder. It will be dry and coarse.
You can feel the unique taste of tamarind and chili along with the coriander leave. It will be a good replacement for pickle and easy to make.
