Kothimbir Vadi Recipe | Maharashtrian Kothimbir Vadi Recipe | How to make Kothimbir Vadi recipe with step by step pictures and instructions. Kothimbir Vadi is crispy, crunchy and delicious snack from Maharashtra. Coriander leaves is known as Kothimbir in Marathi and it is the key ingredient in this recipe. Coriander leaves, besan flour and spices are mixed to form dough which is steamed and later deep fried to make it crisp.
This is one of the healthy and flavorful snack. To make it more healthy we can shallow fry the pieces or completely skip that step and enjoy the soft steamed vadi. I adapted the recipe from here and made few changes. We can do many variations to the base recipe like adding greens instead of coriander. Adjust the green chillies and spiciness according to your preference. We really enjoyed having them and I will surely make it again. Lets move to the recipe now.
