Kothimbir vadi, also known as "Kothimbir kachri" in some regions, is a traditional Maharashtrian snack made primarily from fresh coriander leaves (kothimbir), gram flour (besan), and spices. It is a savory and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

• Coriander leaves (Kothimbir): Fresh and finely chopped, these leaves are the star ingredient, giving the dish its unique flavor.
• Gram flour (Besan): This acts as the binding agent, holding all the ingredients together.
• Spices: Common spices include cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and sometimes a hint of garam masala or asafoetida (hing) for extra flavor.
• Green chilies and garlic: Finely chopped, these add a spicy and aromatic kick.
• Sesame seeds: These are often added for a nutty flavor and a bit of crunch.
• Salt: To taste.
• Oil: Used for tempering the spices and for shallow frying the vadi.
