About Coriander Powder
Coriander seeds are also known as Dhania. Dhania is a vital spice in Indian cuisine, and is widely used in dishes around the world.
Coriander powder is a common ingredient used in our household for preparing everyday dishes like gravies and curries. When made at home, it is known for its freshness, aroma, and strong flavor. The process of making coriander powder involves roasting coriander seeds, allowing them to cool, and then grinding them into a fine powder.
The coriander seeds can be dried in the sun or roasted until they are crispy and then ground. Roasting the seeds helps to bring out their aroma and flavor, resulting in a crisp texture.
Two types of coriander seeds are available: regular and country, also known as “Naatu Malli” in Tamil. Use whichever type is accessible in your area. When stored for a long time, coriander seeds can attract insects quickly, so if you purchase them in bulk, make sure to roast and store them. You can also store them in the refrigerator.
