Coriander powder is one of the few ingredients that you must need in Indian Cooking. Now a days, you can find coriander powder in almost every grocery store.But i like to make my batch of coriander powder at home for the past one year.
When we were in India, i never brought any spice powder like chili powder, sambar powder and coriander powder from stores. Amma always make big batch of all these and pass it to me.After moving to US, initially i brought it from stores and tried various brands,but i'm not satisfied with any of those brands.First they are available in large packs(minimum 200gms,yep it's more for 2 people) and it lost it's flavor just after few weeks.Home made coriander powder also lost its flavor over the time,but not as quick as store brought ones.So i had started to make coriander powder on my own in little batches for our need.If you have good blender,then it's very easy to make & also it's so fresh and more aromatic than any store brought coriander powder.
