Fresh Cilantro

Fresh coriander leaves are also known as Cilantro, Chinese parsley or Dhania (east Indian name well adopted in England). Cilantro is used to garnish any sauce cooked with tomatoes; for example, Marinara sauce, curry sauce & tomato bisque. In Mexico, you cannot make salsa without chopped up Cilantro.

Coriander Seeds

Coriander seeds are primarily used in making pickles. The seeds are also dry-roasted and ground to flavor fish.

Coriander Seed powder

Coriander seed powder acts as a natural emulsifier or thickener. Almost all Indian curry dishes use coriander powder. In United states, coriander seed powder is used in making hotdogs. Next time, you make Texas Chili, add some coriander seed powder as one of the ingredients during cooking for a smoother texture. Top your Texas Chili off with chopped cilantro when serving.
