CORIANDER CUMIN POWDER

Unlike many spices that are intensely hot or pungent, coriander powder has a mild, warm, earthy, and slightly citrusy-sweet flavor profile. This makes it highly versatile and allows it to complement, rather than dominate, other spices.In Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mexican cuisine, coriander powder is often used in the largest quantity compared to other spices in a blend (like Garam Masala or curry powder). It acts as the “body” or “base” of the flavor, giving the curry its essential earthy depth.While the fresh leaves (cilantro) are cooling and sharp, the seeds are slightly warming and their powder adds a pleasantly fragrant, rustic aroma when cooked in oil.It is almost always paired with cumin powder (Jeera Powder) in Indian cooking. Coriander (sweet/citrusy/base) and Cumin (warm/earthy/pungent) are the yin and yang that form the backbone of most savory Indian dishes.Coriander has been used for centuries in Ayurveda as a digestive stimulant and carminative. It helps stimulate digestive enzymes, reduce gas, bloating, and abdominal discomfort.Like many spices, coriander is rich in antioxidants which contribute to overall well-being and cellular protection.
