Dhaniya, also known as coriander or cilantro in English, is a fragrant herb commonly used in cuisines around the world. It has both fresh leaves and seeds, and both are widely used, but in different ways.The fresh leaves of dhaniya are bright green and have a fresh, slightly citrusy flavor with a mild peppery kick. They’re used as a garnish or added to dishes like curries, soups, salads, and salsas. In Indian cuisine, fresh dhaniya leaves are often sprinkled over dishes like dal, sabzi, and raita for added freshness and flavor. It’s also a key ingredient in chutneys, particularly mint-coriander chutney.
