- Homemade dhania powder is freshly ground from sun-dried coriander seeds, ensuring a rich aroma and authentic flavor that store-bought powders often lack. With its warm, citrusy, slightly nutty taste, it is one of the most versatile Indian spices—used in curries, dals, vegetables, chutneys, marinades, and spice blends. Beyond flavor, coriander powder is highly regarded in Ayurveda for aiding digestion, balancing body heat, and detoxifying the system.

- Always use a dry spoon when handling.
