Kothimbir vadi is a delicious savory crisp snack from the Maharashtrian cuisine made with gram flour (besan), coriander leaves, sesame seeds and spices. These savory, herby and flavorful bites can be pan-fried or deep-fried. They are a popular tea-time fritter snack loaded with coriander leaves.
Once I visited Pune at my son's house . His neighbour Maharashtrian aunty made for us. It was so delicious that I couldn't stop myself from telling her to make it again for us.,🫣
How shameless I am... Isn't it..😜
