Coriander Seeds — Aakha Dhana (Coriandrum sativum) | 200 g, 3 lb & 30 lb
Whole dried coriander seeds (aakha dhana) — warm, citrusy, and mildly sweet with a pleasant floral aroma. One of the most widely used spices in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cooking. Use whole for tempering or grind fresh for maximum flavour. Available in retail and bulk sizes.
Culinary Uses:
- Tadka (tempering) for dals and vegetable dishes
- Ground into dhana powder for curries and spice blends
- Garam masala, curry powder, and dhana jeera blend
- Pickling spice for achaar and chutneys
- Marinades for meat, poultry, and fish
- Soups, stews, and slow-cooked dishes
Flavour Profile: Warm, citrusy, and gently sweet with floral, earthy undertones. Much milder and more aromatic than cumin. Toasting whole seeds before grinding intensifies the flavour significantly.
