Omega Coriander Powder: mild, citrusy ground coriander for curries, kofta, falafel and rubs. Single 1 kg pack.
Coriander powder is ground coriander seed with a mild, citrusy and slightly nutty flavour. It is one of the most used spices in Indian, Pakistani, Middle Eastern and North African cooking, thickening and flavouring curries, dals, kofta, falafel and spice rubs. Cook it briefly in oil with cumin and turmeric to remove its raw taste. Generous amounts are normal, as coriander is gentle. Coriander, Coriandrum sativum, is an annual herb of the Apiaceae family whose leaves are called cilantro in the US and whose dried fruits are the seeds. Ground coriander turns dusty and flat within months, so reseal the pack after every use. It is one of the main ingredients in curry powder, garam masala and many Middle Eastern rubs, and a teaspoon or two flavours a family pot of curry, dal or kofta. Pair it with cumin for the classic base.
