Powder

Coriander powder, also called Dhaniya powder is a staple spice in many cuisines. As the name suggests, ground coriander is made from freshly roasted coriander seeds. Nevertheless, both have different flavor profiles. When used as a whole, coriander seeds add the right level of spiciness, but as powder, they mix and blend with the dish and lift its overall taste profile.

While coriander seeds can be stored for a longer time, ground coriander is best when stored in small batches. They tend to lose out their aroma soon, so I usually make them in small batches.
