I love coriander leaves. So when I saw the recipe of this dish which has coriander leaves as the main ingredient, I wanted to try it. The preparation was quite interesting. First the cake is steam cooked and then it is deep fried. We relished it with coriander and parsley chutney. The combination was splendid.

This is the steam cooked vadi. You can also splutter mustard, curry leaves and pour it on the steam cooked vadi along with some grated coconut and relish it like dokla. Or you can apply some oil on all sides and bake it in oven for a guilt free snack
