I make coriander chutney every week especially for dosa .Coriander chutney and dosa are one of the best pair ,We love it!!

3. Then add urad dal and channa dal and saute in low flame till they turn golden brown and aroma arises.
   
4. Now add coriander leaves and fry in medium flame till they shrinks well and changes to dark colour ( refer picture).
   
   
5. Finally add tamarind , coconut ,salt and give a quick mix and switch off the flame.
   
6. When the mixture reaches room temperature grind it to fine,thick paste with little water.
   
7. Empty the contents to serving bowl and enjoy with hot idli or crispy dosa.
   
   NOTES :

1. Coriander stem has lot of health benefits so don't discard it.
2. Always saute in low or medium flame to get better taste.
3. Add little water while grinding , as it tastes awesome in thick consistency.
4. Be generous in adding urad dal and channa dal ,they tastes amazing with coriander.
5. Adding coconut is optional , you can even skip it.But I always add.
