I am back again after a refreshing break. We went on a road trip to Boston and Connecticut and had a great time. And here is the roundup of Herbs & Flowers in my Platter - Cilantro/Coriander leaves. I would like to thank PJ of Seduce your Tastebuds for giving me an opportunity to host the event. For Cilantro, I received an awesome 74 entries including 5 non-vegetarian entries and 2 tips on growing coriander leaves. Here comes the entries in the alphabetical order.
Vegetarian Entries
Ammu Mohan from Rasi's Veg bites sent Coriander Moong dhal gravy and
Sobha Shyam from Good Food sent Green Chapathi.
Vaishali Sabnani of Ribbons&Pastas sent Hara Samosa and Kotmeer Vadi.
Vidhya from Sugar 'N spice sent Spinach'N Cilantro Pesto Pasta.
And finally one entry from our friend Sindhia S a non-blogger.
Baby Potatoes in Cilantro Pesto
Ingredients:
Baby Potatoes - 8 - Add salt and boil with skin. (i used red baby potatoes)
Onion - 1 medium sized - chopped.
Olive oil - 2 tsp
Salt - to taste
For the Pesto Paste:
Cilantro - 1 cup tightly packed
Mint - 1/2 cup
Garlic cloves - 5
Green chilly - 8 (adjust according to your spice level)
Method:
Grind the ingredients for pesto to a smooth paste adding a little water. Heat oil in a pan and saute onions till transparent. Add a pinch of salt to the onions and saute well. Mean while make little slits around the potatoes using a knife(this helps the gravy to penetrate into the potatoes).
Now add the ground pesto paste and saute for few min. add salt as required.
Add potatoes to it and saute untill the potatoes are well coated with pesto paste. Goes well with chapathi as well as a side dish for rice and Biriyani.
