About us: What comes to mind just after one hears the term `coriander` is just not the taste of the coriander chutney but the tinge of the coriander seeds tossed for its aroma, the savor of the coriander sherbet doused with the divine touch of coriander! And possibly all the mentioned ones, and also the umpteen other groundbreaking recipes of this deliciously Oriental herb, called Coriander. The plant, although much thinner compared to its various other cousins and counterparts, commands much more attention and respect, owing to its sheer diversified and multi-faceted properties in practically every sphere of daily living. Although opinion might differ, banters might be raised as to coriander`s utility, with some feeling it containing a pungent odour, much of the Indian culinary gang generally swear by the plant Dhania (the Hindi name of coriander). The zest, the tang, the smack, the zing that coriander exudes in each of its methodical preparation, does definitely call for a detailed understanding of what this heavenly herb can actually produce and has produced since prehistoric times.

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) can be described as a yearly and perennial herb, belonging to the family Apiaceae. Outside India, coriander serves as a native herb to south-western Asia and also of North Africa. It is a soft plant with a sweet smell, possessing no hair, growing up to a height of 50 cm (20 inches). The leaves are erratic and inconsistent in shape, lobed in a spacious manner at the base of the plant and lean and feathered on the higher side on the flowering stems. The flowers of coriander are contained within small umbels, bearing white or very pallid pink colours, asymmetric in appearance, with the petals directed away from the centre of the umbel (5-6 mm), which are comparatively longer than those petals pointing towards the middle of the umbel (barely 1-3 mm long). The fruit of coriander bears a globular dry schizocarp, with 3-5 mm in length in diameter. The seeds of this perpetual herb are balmy, soft and sweetish in flavour and taste; there exists a citrus tinge hidden within the seeds, much akin to orange peel. The Indian version of coriander comprises an essential oil, which stimulates irritation when in contact with skin for prolonged times. Leaving the essential oil, the seeds also consist of fatty oil.
