Kothimbir Bhajiya / Bhaji / Pakoda is a crispy and tasty snacks. It is basically a coriander leaves fritter. It is one of my favorite tea time snacks. It is made by preparing gram flour batter and mixing coriander leaves and some aromatic spices to the batter and then deep frying it. If you want you can even bake it. It tastes good both the way.
It goes well with green chutney or ketchup.
