Ganesh Chaturthi recipe

Kothimbir vadi is a loved Maharashtrian delicacy that makes its way to festive feasts and spreads, especially during Ganesh Chaturthi. The dish is prepared with fresh coriander leaves, gram flour, and a medley of spices. The mixture is first steamed to lock in all its freshness and then lightly pan-fried or deep-fried until golden and crisp, creating a perfect contrast between soft interiors and crunchy exteriors.

What makes kothimbir vadi special is its versatility—it can be served as a tea-time snack, an appetizer, and even as a part of the bhog offered to Lord Ganesha. Packed with aroma, texture, and wholesome ingredients, the dish is both nourishing and delicious. Here is a kothimbir vadi recipe by Executive Chef Amardeep Singh Bhatia of Jaypee Siddharth.
