Description
Coriander seed is a key spice ( Hindi name: dhania) in garam masala and Indian curries, which often employ the ground fruits in generous amounts together with cumin . It also acts as a thickener. Roasted coriander seeds, called dhana dal, are also eaten as a snack. It is also the main ingredient of the two south Indian gravies: sambhar and rasam.
The dry fruits are known as coriander seeds or coriandi seeds. In some regions, the use of the word coriander in food preparation always refers to these seeds (as a spice), rather than to the plant itself. The seeds have a lemony citrus flavour when crushed, due to the presence of the terpenes linalool and pinene . It is also described as warm, nutty, spicy, and orange-flavoured. They are usually dried but can be eaten green.
If the spice is bought (or picked -- it can be grown in a home garden) whole in a non-dried form, it can be dried in the sun. Most commonly, it is bought as whole dried seeds, but can also be purchased in ground form. When grinding at home, it can be roasted or heated on a dry pan briefly to enhance the aroma before grinding it in an electric grinder or with a mortar and pestle; ground coriander seeds lose their flavour quickly in storage and are best only ground as needed. For optimum flavour, whole coriander seed should be used within six months, or stored for no more than a year in a tightly sealed container away from sunlight and heat.
Outside of Asia, coriander seed is an important spice for sausages in Germany and South Africa (see boerewors ). In Russia and Central Europe coriander seed is an occasional ingredient in rye bread as an alternative to caraway . Apart from the uses just noted, coriander seeds are rarely used in European cuisine today, though they were more important in former centuries.
Coriander seeds are also used in brewing certain styles of beer, particularly some Belgian wheat beers . The coriander seeds are typically used in conjunction with orange peel to add a citrus character to these styles of beer.
