Coriander Powder

Grounded from coriander seeds, coriander powder is an essential condiment in the Indian cuisine. Very few dishes can be made without the touch of coriander powder. It has a pleasing aroma and savour. Coriander from which the powder is made is one of the world's oldest spices.

The use of coriander seeds is noted across the globe in almost all countries. Coriander powder is obtained by roasting the dried coriander seeds gently and then milling them. The reason for roasting is to release the aroma and oils contained in these seeds.

We find the wide use of coriander powder as flavoring agent in cakes, sweet breads, sausages, stews and confectionary. Dhania seeds are also used as a spice in Indian, Chinese, Pakistani, European and Middle-East culinary preparations. In North India, Dhania powder is widely used for spicing pickles, chutneys, stews, marinades, sausages and curries.

Dhania is endowed with several health benefits due to its rich content of anti-oxidants and other plant based chemical compounds noted for their disease preventing and health promoting characteristics.
