Dhaniya Guli

Dhaniya dry vegetable primarily refers to dried coriander seeds, a staple spice. These small, round, brownish seeds are harvested from the mature coriander plant. They are naturally dried, allowing for extended shelf life. Their flavor is warm, earthy, citrusy, and slightly nutty, intensifying when roasted.

Used widely in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mexican cuisines, they are essential for tempering. Ground into powder, they form the base of countless curries and dals. Beyond seeds, "dhaniya dry vegetable" can also denote dehydrated coriander leaves (cilantro flakes). These flakes offer a convenient, long-lasting alternative to fresh cilantro. Both forms contribute unique flavor and nutritional benefits to diverse dishes.
