Notes
Should coriander be roasted before grinding?
It is up to your personal preference whether coriander should be roasted before grinding and coriander powder can be used either way. Lightly toasting the coriander seeds prior to grinding to make a powder. This helps to release oils and makes the dhaniya powder more flavorful. It also removes any moisture which allows a longer shelf life.
Others may prefer to just grind the seeds to make powder. The powder will be cooked during the cooking process, so it is not necessary.
Storing
Store coriander powder in an airtight container for up to three months. I like to operate on a quarterly basis and make small batches to last me at least 3 months and then I will grind a fresh batch.
