Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) is a yearly and perennial herb, belonging to the family Apiaceae. The name ‘coriander’ has been derived from French coriandre, all the way through Latin "coriandrum". It is a hairless plant which grows up to heights of about 50 cm (20 inches) having leaves which are inconsistent in shape. On the pale green shoots are the fan shaped bright green leaves with jagged edges. Coriander is one of those plants whose strongly flavoured leaves, the seeds and shoot are all edible. The fresh leaves form an essential ingredient in many Indian, Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese dishes and also in Mexican salsas and guacamole. Chopped raw coriander leaves are used to garnish various cooked dishes right before serving, such as soups, dals and other dishes. The flowers are small and pinkish-white, formed in clusters that ripen into coriander seeds. The aromatic seeds are round yellowish brown in colour when ripe. The seeds usually have a warm, nutty and piquant flavour and giving a citrus flavour when crushed. The seeds can be used in both dried and green form. Both whole seeds and grounded form are used depending on the preparation of various dishes, grounded coriander being the most preferred form. Sometimes the seeds are roasted or fried for a short time before grinding to enhance the aroma. This aroma plays an important part while making chutneys, curry pastes, or for preparing pickles and the likes.
