The quiet heart of every masala
CorianderDhania
Fragrant, citrusy and bright, from the Hadoti region of Rajasthan.
TutankhamunCoriander seeds were found in his tomb. It is one of the oldest spices people know.
Rooted in India
Coriander doesn’t shout; it holds everything together. Ground dhania thickens and perfumes curries, and it sits in almost every garam masala and curry powder. India grows more coriander seed than any other country, and Rajasthan grows the most of all.
A little history
Coriander appears in ancient Sanskrit texts, and its seeds were found in Tutankhamun’s tomb. In India its heartland is Hadoti, around Kota, where Ramganj Mandi grew into one of Asia’s largest coriander markets.

Cooling, gentle, fragrant
Traditional cooks call coriander cooling and gentle on digestion, and dhania water is a favourite home remedy. Its fresh, citrus scent comes from aromatic oils, mainly linalool, and the seeds contain dietary fibre.
