Coriander Powder | Ground Coriander

coriander seeds

Pick the coriander seeds to get rid of stones or any debris.

Sun-drying method: Spread the seeds on a plate or tray. Cover the coriander seeds with a thin muslin or a splatter lid (lid with a fine mesh). Sun-dry in the sun for 1 to 2 days.

Pan roasting method: The other method is to roast the coriander seeds in a frying pan or skillet till they become fragrant, crisp and with a slight color change. Stir frequently while roasting.

Do not brown them or burn them. Transfer them to a plate or tray and cool at room temperature.

Prep coriander seeds

Using a spice-grinder or mixer-grinder, make a fine powder of the coriander seeds. Let it cool completely.

If your spice-grinder is not able to make a fine powder, then sift the coarsely ground powder with a sieve. Add the coarser bits collected on top of the seive back to the spice-grinder and grind again.

Make coriander powder

Store coriander powder in a clean and dry airtight container in a dry and cool place or keep in the refrigerator. Use as needed in the recipe. This ground spice keeps well for 3 months.

Always remove the coriander powder with a dry clean spoon. Do not use a wet spoon and make sure that no water goes into the jar. Presence of water or moisture can lead to the growth of mold or fungus in the coriander powder.

Comment

Chicken Pulao is one of my faves! I'll have to try this out soon 🤗

In a glass or stainless steel bowl, mix chicken, yogurt, salt, turmeric, ginger, garlic, and chili powder well. Cover and marinate for about 30 minutes or overnight. Heat ghee or oil in a cooking pot and add the whole spices and the bay leaves. Cook for about one minute on medium, then stir in the onions. Sauté the onions until translucent about two minutes on medium.

Next, add the marinaded chicken, salt, coriander powder, and garam masala powder and saute until the liquid from chicken evaporates.

Add the rice, water, and salt to taste. Stir once and bring to a boil. Then cover and cook on low heat until rice is tender. About 10 to 15 minutes. Uncover and gently fluff rice and serve warm.
