Coriander Powder is made by grinding up coriander seeds. It is typically used to add flavour to curries, and used in quite large quantities because the powder also helps to thicken the curry. | Coriander seeds are usually ground up (e.g. with a mortar and pestle) and then the resulting powder is used as coriander powder (above). Freshly-ground coriander powder (i.e. from seeds) does have a more intense flavour than already-ground powder. | Coriander leaves are often used in the lighter curries. They have the same coriander taste as the powder or seeds, but do not have the same bitterness which is often desired in stronger curries. Nonetheless, they work well in all curries, and are a great all-purpose coriander. |
