Product Information

It is more cost effective than buying the spice blend ready made (which you can find in stores by the way) Coriander Powder (Dhaniya Powder) According to Garima Arora – the first Indian woman to earn a Michelin star and chef-owner of restaurants Gaa and HERE in Bangkok, Thailand – using coriander is meant to be a very intentional act, one where the chef is acutely aware of the type of emboldened "greenness" he or she is inviting into the dish. Make a smaller batch –The potency of spice mixes go down as they age so make a batch that is sufficient for a month or two. Many European recipes, for instance, use the term coriander to refer to both the spice and the herb, aka coriander seeds and coriander leaves. In the United States, however, the seeds are called coriander while the leaves are called cilantro. Put dry roasted coriander seeds in a pepper mill and keep on the dinner table so that you and your family can use them at any time on salads, soups and gravies too.

Always follow the recipe and use this ground spice as mentioned in the recipe. Do not add a lot of it as the flavor of that dish may get unbalanced. There is a subtle difference in flavor between ground coriander and whole coriander seeds. Gently toast the Whole seeds and add them to spice blends, curries, or condiments like sambar powder, rasam powder, or chutneys. Add the ground coriander powder tothe curries and the flavor profile is elevated to a new distinctive level. USAGE TIPS for GROUND CORIANDER The essential oil from coriander leaves and seeds contains mixed polyphenols and terpenes, including linalool as the major constituent accounting for the aroma and flavour of coriander. [32] Substitute for Coriander Seeds: If you don't have ground coriander on hand, replace it with an equal amount of ground caraway seeds, cumin, fennel or a combination of all three. Storage TipsAlthough, it is easy to buy premade store bought coriander powder, the homemade powdered spice is absolutely the best. It takes literally 10 minutes to make a large batch. It is better to make the coriander powder in small quantities to sustain the aroma, fragrance and freshness.

Then, add the whole coriander seeds to the pan. Toast the spice for 4-5 minutes, mixing intermittently. Make sure to cool the roasted coriander seeds completely before grinding else, the seeds will release moisture and reduce the shelf life. Store the ground coriander powder in an air-tight container, preferably glass to keep them fresh for longer.

Freshly ground spices are best kept in air-tight containers in a cool, dark place. I like using glass jars to store spices so I can see what is inside the jar and when I am running low so I can make a fresh batch as needed.
