ENTRY FOR EVENTS

KOTHAMALLI THANNI/CORIANDER SEEDS TEA

                   This tea has medicinal values,my mom makes this now and then …and we like this very much.Especially when we have cold,this one soothes our throat and its very appetizing too…Also sometimes we feel pitham too much in our body and have drowsiness,vomiting sensation in empty stomach. This tea helps a lot for this problem.

Kothamalli thanni.

Ingredients:

Coriander seeds/Vara kothamalli/Daniya 3 tblsp
Palm sugar or palm sugar crystals(pana vellam/karuppati or panag kalkandu) 1 tblsp
Honey 1 tsp
Lemon juice 1 tsp
Ginger 1 inch piece

Kothamalli thanni

Method:

  1. Grind coriander seeds in mixer coarsely.
  2. Boil 2 cups of water and add the powdered coriander,crushed ginger,palm sugar crystals( I dint add,I added jaggery instead) and boil till 2 cups of water gets reduced to 1 cup.
    Boil Reduce
  3. Strain to serving cup and squeeze the lemon and mix in the honey.
    Strain
  4. Enjoy hot!! You can replace lemon with 2-3 tblsp of milk too !
