Desi Coriander Pesto

Hi,

I had lot of coriander leaves left at home. Didn't want to let it go dry and waste. So searched for some recipes of coriander leaves and Pesto recipe attracted my attention. But how would I continue without adding my own ingredients in this to make it a desi one? So here it is..

Ingredients:

Coriander leaves - a bunch.
Green Chilli - 3
Ginger - a small cube.
Sesame seeds - around half a spoon.
Garlic cloves - 3 to 4.
Mustard oil - 3 to 4 spoons.
Mint leaves - if you have.

Chop coriander leaves after washing and after removing the stems.

Add a little oil in a pan, heat it. Add sesame seeds and stir for half a minute.

Add green chillies, garlic, ginger and sauté for half a minute.

Quickly add coriander leaves and don't fry for much time. Just about 20-25 seconds and remove it from the flame.

Let it cool.

Now in a grinder, add all the above and add mustard oil. (you may add olive oil also) Add salt to taste.

Grind to thick or thin paste depending on your choice, by adding more oil.

Yummy desi pesto is ready!
