Coriander, with its citrusy undertones, is a versatile spice that is ubiquitous in Indian cooking. It is used in both seed and leaf form, offering different flavours and textures. Coriander seeds are commonly used in spice blends, while fresh coriander leaves, also known as cilantro, add a refreshing touch to many dishes. From curries to chutneys, coriander is a staple that adds brightness and complexity to every bite. Coriander is a spice produced from the round, tan-coloured seeds of the coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum), which is a member of the parsley family. Coriander seeds have a pleasing lemony flavour and floral aroma.
