Kothimeera Annam (Corriander Rice)
Corriander Rice (Kothimeera Annam)
Coriander leaves are known to have many nutrients so it is very good to eat this rice once every weak. Children do not like to eat green leafy vegetables but if mixed with rice and made tasty then they will not complain. This could be a very good lunch box dish for them. Very easy to prepare and also very tasty. One of my favourites. I get both taste and nutrients from this dish. High in vitamin K, A and C. Small amounts of B2 and B9. High in water content so cooling to the body in summers.
