Flattened Indian coriander is traditionally roasted and hand-pounded, creating a wonderfully aromatic spice with a distinctive crisp, crunchy texture. The roasting brings forward coriander’s warm citrus notes and gentle nuttiness, while flattening the seeds releases their fragrance without reducing them to a powder.

The result is a highly versatile spice that adds both flavor and texture. Use it as a crust for fish, shrimp, oysters, chicken, or vegetables; scatter it over roasted vegetables and salads; or incorporate it into spice blends and savory dishes where you want coriander’s bright, aromatic character to remain distinct.

Origin: India

Serving Suggestions: Use as a flavorful, crunchy coating for fish, shrimp, or oysters, then pan-fry or deep-fry until golden brown. It is also excellent sprinkled over roasted vegetables, rice dishes, salads, and grilled meats just before serving.
