Coriander leaves (cilantro)
हरा धनिया
Fresh Produce
Finishing freshness.
What to know
Added at the end, off the heat. Cooked coriander leaf loses the thing you added it for.
- Storing it
- Stems in a glass of water, leaves loosely covered, in the fridge.
- By eye
- A small fistful, chopped ≈ ¼ cup. 1 cup ≈ two generous handfuls, loosely packed — nobody measures this with a spoon.
Measures
- 1 cup ≈ 13 g
- 1 tbsp ≈ 1 g
Cups here are the Indian 200 ml cup, not the 240 ml US cup — a common reason a recipe does not work. Weigh where you can; the grams are the figure we cook to.
