    Air fryer Kothimbir vadi recipe

    Kothmir means coriander and vadi means small slices. This kothimbir vadi is a Maharashtrian snack eaten at tea time. It is a great way to use if you have excess coriander at home. Coriander or cilantro doesn't last too long, so it is an easy way to use the herbs if you cannot dry them. This dish is very popular in Maharashtra, much like the muthia in Gujarat.

    This tea time snack is rich in antioxidants and protein too. When we make it in air fryer, we do remove extra oil too making it healthier.

    Trivia: Many of you may recall, Madhavi bhabhi keeps making kothambir vadi for tappu sena in the hit series Tarak Mehta ka ulta chashma or TMKOC.

    FAQs

    How to store kothambir for a long time?

    Add the stalks to a glass of water and keep it in the refrigerator. This way it stays longer. If you have chopped cilantro or coriander, store it in a paper napkin to keep it fresh. Otherwise it wilts and goes black. You can also dehydrate and keep it for future usage.

    Is coriander good for health?

    Yes it is full of vitamin K which helps repair and avoid osteoporosis.
