Should I slightly sauté the coriander leaves on low flame

If you want, you can saute, but we grind as such. If we balance the tamarind, spiciness accordingly, now raw smell will be there.
different dish for me..! i like thiz very much…

Hi Raks,
I am planning to try this recipe, but one question in my mind so thought of clarify that before getting started. Why do we add jaggery to this dish? When I was in Bangalore my cook initially used to add jaggery to rasam, sambar / kootu anything that she makes and it used to give a sweet taste at the end which hated so we requested her not to add it. So I am afraid if I add jaggery to this it might taste sweet. Please help clarify. Thanks 🙂
I too dont like adding jaggery that much, which changes the taste and gives a sweet taste, but this is so very little for this that will just smooth all the sharp tastes of tamarind and chilly. So as long as u add it less, it will be nice
hello, i hav a doubt!!! should the coriander be cooked or mixed raw with the urad dhal and red chilli???
coriander can be added raw.
Thansk! Nice reci[e! Just tried and its wonderful..
hey i usually make with garlic.This time gonna follow your recipe.Looks yummy
