Notes
Tips to make perfect coriander powder:
Always roast the coriander seeds on medium heat, otherwise, the seeds burn easily.
Keep stirring continuously so that all the seeds are evenly roasted.
Grind the seeds only after they have cooled down completely if you are using a grinder. This avoids the moisture setting in and won’t make the powder go bad.
Coriander Powder: If you are making ground coriander powder minus the roasting part, then you can just blitz in a grinder. However don’t forget to grind in small batches as it starts losing its flavor after a month or so.Storing: Make sure you store ground coriander powder in an air-tight container to lock in the aroma and flavor.
