Baked Kothimbir Vadi is a lighter take on the classic Maharashtrian snack that is usually deep fried. This snack is also popularly enjoyed during the festival of Gudi Padwa, which marks the Maharashtrian New Year and is celebrated with festive foods and family gatherings. It is made with gram flour and plenty of fresh coriander leaves, giving it a fresh and savoury flavour. The mixture is first steamed and then baked until the pieces turn golden and slightly crisp. These tasty bites are mildly spicy, aromatic, and perfect for enjoying evening tea, serving to guests, or when you want a simple homemade snack.
