What is Thenga Muri made with?

Thenga Muri is prepared here with boiled eggs covered in a mashed potato mixture flavored with coriander leaves, green chilies, ginger and garlic. The covered eggs are dipped in beaten egg and cornflour mixture, coated with breadcrumbs and fried until brown.

Why should the coriander paste be ground without water?

The recipe specifically says to grind the first ingredient into a fine paste without adding water. A thicker paste mixes better with the mashed potatoes and helps keep the coating firm around the boiled egg before dipping and frying.
