No Indian kitchen is complete without a bunch of fresh Coriander (Dhaniya). Our Fresh Coriander from GroceryWala is harvested at its aromatic peak — bright green, fragrant, and full of that unmistakable citrusy, herby flavour that transforms a good dish into a great one. Known as Kothamalli in Tamil and Kothimeera in Telugu, coriander is the most-used fresh herb in South Asian cooking. Browse our full range in Leafy & Fresh Greens or explore all our fresh produce in Fresh Foods.
Coriander is the ultimate finishing herb — scatter generously over dals, curries, biryanis, and chaats just before serving. Use it as the base for Hari Chutney (green chutney), blend into marinades and spice pastes, stir into raita and yoghurt dips, or add to salads and salsas. The stems are flavourful and perfect for adding to stocks, soups, and slow-cooked dishes.
Trim the roots and place stems in a glass of water, cover loosely with a bag, and refrigerate. Keeps fresh for up to 1 week. To freeze, chop leaves and freeze in ice cube trays with a little water — ready to drop straight into curries.
Q: What are the health benefits of fresh coriander?
A: Coriander is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, and contains antioxidants that support immune health, digestion, and skin. It also has natural antimicrobial properties.
Q: Can I use coriander stems or just the leaves?
A: Both — the leaves are best for garnishing and fresh chutneys, while the stems and roots carry even more flavour and are ideal for cooking into curries, soups, and spice pastes.
Q: How do I make hari chutney with coriander?
A: Blend a bunch of fresh coriander (with stems) with mint, green chilli, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and a pinch of cumin. Add water to adjust consistency.
