Indian Coriander Seed

Indian Coriander has a stronger flavor than its Moroccan cousin. It delivers pronounced citrus notes, with an overall nutty warmth that is mellow, resinous, and earthy, with an aroma that is reminiscent of oranges with a hint of pepper. Indian Coriander Seed is a classic ingredient in Indian kitchens because its can be used on its own for a nuanced addition to a base flavor, like potatoes or rice, or mixed into favorite Indian spice blends like garam masala.

Indian Coriander Seed helped usher in a revolution in the aesthetics of flavored beer. American beer brewing was not terribly adventurous in its approach until a few pioneering companies began experimenting with old recipes and brewing styles that embrace different flavors. The orangey aromatics of Indian Coriander Seed work well with the floral qualities of hops and wheat in the production of Belgian wheat beers, where it is also paired with orange peel to create a dynamic citrus profile. Historically, coriander has long had a place in the brewer’s workshop but it’s only in the last few decades that American brewing has embraced spices on a large scale.

Tips From Our Kitchen

Indian Coriander Seed is perfect against the nutty flavor of basmati rice. Add one tablespoon of coriander seed for every cup of uncooked rice; to prevent the seeds from getting lost in the rice, tie them into a cheesecloth sachet that can be easily removed after cooking. You can use this spice on the Indian cheese paneer, an easy-to-make cheese with a delicate flavor that happily embraces the nuances of coriander. It's also delicious in kormas and biryani.
