Steps
Place the raw coriander seeds in a spice grinder. Grind for about 1 minute, stopping and shaking the grinder as needed to help evenly distribute the spices. The seeds will grind to a fine, textured powder.
Transfer the ground coriander (use a spice funnel to make this easier) to a spice jar or a small airtight container. Store for up to 6 months. (See Storage Tips.)

Javi on 2025-10-14 (5 stars): Great!
Thanks for the recipe!!!
Otto on 2024-09-14 (5 stars): ATIIFA, said it perfectly, "Thank you so much for this detailed, well-written information on Coriander seeds." My sentiments exactly! Or almost. I'd say that it is well-written and comprehensive information... And I am very impressed with my results.
I always have simple little-questions once I do something that I figure I'll just have to find out, or not, but I believe that you covered everything, and succinctly. I feel like I'm an expert on making coriander now.
Making Indian food from scratch is very foreign and intimidating to me, but from my impression of this page I'm feeling more confident and look forward to exploring your other recipes and creating some delicious dishes. Thank you.
Atifa on 2022-03-25 (5 stars): Thank you so much for this detailed, well-written information on Coriander seeds. What do you think about zeera powder? Do you grind hour own? Toast or not?
I will definitely try grinding my own coriander powder.
