    Here is the step by step process how can you make this Navratri vrat ka khana.

    Cleaning coriander- First of all, clean and wash green coriander very well. Chop it finely and keep them aside.

    You need 1 cup of tightly packed coriander for making farali kothmir vadi.

    Gather all ingredients- In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients listed. Combine them well.

    Rub coriander with the flour nicely, so that water content from the coriander mixed up with the flour.

    Make a dough- Use little water to make a sticky dough. Rajgira flour will not form a smooth dough here. It will be like a sticky mixture (not pouring consistency).

    Prepare to steam- Grease a dhokla plate and spread it over. NOTE DO not make a round or cylindrical shape like traditional kothimbir vadi.

    Rajgira flour will be cooked while spreading on the plate.Farali kothimbir vadi is a crispy steamed snack made with green coriander and amaranth flour. It is a famous Gujarati snack which steamed and then fried.

    Serving suggestions

    Kothmir Vadi or kothimbir Vadi is best to serve with green chutney, tamarind chutney(imli ki chutney), and vrat ki chutneys.

    Storing suggestions

    You can make kothmir vadi in advance and keep it in the fridge. Just microwave them for one minute before serving.

    If you like to make ahead then just steam and cut them into pieces. Store in a container and keep in the fridge.

    Shallow fry or deep fry before serving.

    Tips & FAQ's

    • It is a gluten-free snack. Skip adding curd to get the vegan version.
    • Vadi is supposed to be dense in texture. Add ½ teaspoon baking soda if you want them a little spongy and fluffy. Since I made these for fasting so did not add the Eno fruit salt or baking soda.
    • You can also use buckwheat flour (kuttu ka aata) for this recipe. NOTE I have not yet tried using any other flour. If you try then please share the feedback.
    • Consult your elders if any ingredient is prohibited at your home.
