Homemade Coriander Powder
This easy homemade coriander powder recipe will give you fresh, aromatic ground coriander with just a few simple steps. Making your own coriander powder results in a brighter, more flavorful spice compared to store-bought powder.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coriander seeds
Instructions
Dry and Roast Seeds
- Rinse coriander seeds and pat dry thoroughly with a towel. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Let air dry 1-2 days until very dry and crisp.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add seeds and dry roast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly darker in color. Transfer immediately to a plate and let cool completely.
Grind Seeds
- Pour cooled, roasted seeds into a spice grinder, coffee grinder, or small blender. Grind in batches to a fine or coarse powder.
- Use a funnel to transfer ground coriander powder into an airtight container. Store in a cool, dark place and use within 3-6 months for best flavor.
Notes
Roasting the seeds before grinding intensifies the earthy, aromatic flavor. Be sure to let the seeds cool completely before grinding to prevent moisture from being introduced. Store in an airtight container away from heat, moisture and sunlight to preserve freshness. Enjoy the bright citrus flavor homemade ground coriander adds to your cooking!
