Looking for an interesting/tasty recipe for lunch boxes? Look no further. This Cilantro Rice/ Coriander leaves Rice/Kothimeera Rice is surely a winner at home specially with the picky eater of our house!! Also she happens to be a hater of cilantro when garnished in any recipe. I knew that it is in the leaf form that she doesn't like and not the distinct flavor of cilantro. So I tried this recipe. Moreover the recipe has been lying around in one of the many papers I use to jot down recipes! This one is probably from a few years back. Due to the ongoing Blogging Marathon, I had a chance to go through all the recipes on papers, in my books, on my computer and some online also! And so here it is..


I am curious to check what my fellow Marathoners are up to today..lets take a peek..



Coriander Rice

Ingredients - 


Sona Masoori Rice 1 1/2 cups (Basmati should be fine too)
Cilantro / Kothimeera / Coriander leaves about 2 cup approx
Green Chillies 3-4 (or as per taste)
Turmeric 1/2 tsp
Salt as per taste
Onions finely chopped 1/2 cup
Coconut Fresh/Frozen/Dry 3 Tbsp grated/powdered
Seasoning (Oil 1 Tbsp, Cloves 3-4, Cinnamon 1 inch , Cardamom 2-3 pods, Bay leaf 1 , Cumin Seeds 1 tsp)
Lemon Juice as per taste

Method Of Preparation - 


Cook the rice in your preferred method. (I use the rice cooker)


Meanwhile, make a paste of coriander leaves, coconut and green chillies adding as little water as is required.


In a heated wok/kadai, add the oil and the rest of the seasoning and after the cumin seeds are brown, add the chopped onions and saute until golden brown. 


Add turmeric and the coriander paste and switch off the flame.


Add salt and the cooled rice and mix well.


Mix in some lemon juice as per taste.
