This coriander powder is of notably high quality and has a deep aroma that will work in any curry. Coriander is a "flavour" spice rather than a heat spice, and is one of the basic flavours of Indian cooking.
5 Ways To Use Coriander Powder
- Coriander powder is used in almost all Indian curries. Allow for around half a tablespoonful per person, depending on taste.
- Coriander is one of the spices in garam masala. To make a typical garam masala mix, use coriander powder, cassia, black pepper, star anise and turmeric.
- Coriander powder can be used to thicken sauces and curries if they are too runny or thin.
- Coriander can also be used as a flavouring in breads, particularly Indian breads. Just a little is needed in the dough.
