These are dried fruits of the coriander/ cilantro plant, greenish brown in colour with a slight savoury flavour. Powdered coriander is widely used in indian curries. The seeds have a lemony citrus flavour when crushed.It is described as warm, nutty, spicy, and orange-flavored.
It is commonly found both as whole dried seeds and in ground form. Seeds can be roasted or heated on a dry pan briefly before grinding to enhance and alter the aroma. Ground coriander seed loses flavor quickly in storage and is best ground fresh. It is the main ingredient of the two south Indian dishes: sambhar and rasam.
