Coriander Powder

Kerala, known for its rich spice cultivation, produces some of the best-quality coriander, which is often considered to have a more intense, earthy, and slightly citrusy flavor compared to coriander from other regions. This spice is widely used in Indian cooking, especially in Kerala`s traditional dishes like curries, sambar, and masalas.

In Kerala, coriander (Coriandrum sativum) is grown in the state`s fertile soil, which, combined with the favorable climate, contributes to the rich essential oils in the seeds. These oils are released during the grinding process, giving Kerala coriander powder its signature fragrance and flavor.

Some key features of coriander powder from Kerala include:

• Flavor: Mildly warm, citrusy, and slightly sweet with a hint of earthiness.
• Aroma: Strong and fragrant, with a noticeable citrus undertone.
• Use: It`s used in spice mixes (like garam masala), in vegetable and meat curries, soups, chutneys, and even desserts in some regions.
