Notes
Choose tiny, tender vankayalu to get a nice taste.
Wash kothimeera or coriander leaves well in advance to avoid too much moisture in the curry.
Blend the kothimeera karam or coriander masala only when vankayalu cooked completely.
If you blend it before hand, it would turn into dark and does not taste good too.
