I have used Coriander Roots in Thai Green curry. Other day I was making Coriander thokku and I had used 1.5 bunch of coriander leaves. I had quite a bit of roots left. I decided to try out chutney with it. Initially I wanted to try with urad dal and bengal gram dal. Later I wanted to keep the white color. So decided to try out dry chickpeas. I am glad that I tried it out. It came out wonderfully that no one even guess it was with roots. When you use roots make sure you wash it properly
