Pronounce It Button

Nandini Coriander is the Indian cooking spice that makes you stop mid-recipe to smell the tin for the third time. Lemony, floral, and nutty all at once, with the crispness of fresh linens and the brightness of a summer garden. A cornerstone of South Asian cooking, coriander (dhania in hindi) shines in everything from bhindi masala to roasted carrots to spice rubs, adding zesty fragrance that pre-ground, months-old coriander powder simply cannot touch.

"That lemon-y smell that hit me when I opened the spice grinder was unforgettable!"

"A bright burst of lemon, tart and nutty."

Cooking tips

Only grind what you need.

Keeping coriander whole helps to preserve its essential oils and flavor, so avoid pre-grinding your coriander in big batches.

Try coriander in baking and sweets.

Nandini Coriander’s citrusy notes work well in cakes, as well as toasted and steeped in milk for cream-based desserts.

Brew a soothing cup of CCF tea.

Add 1¼ cups water and ¾ teaspoon each coriander, cumin, and fennel seeds in a saucepan, bring to a boil, cover, let steep for 10 minutes, strain, and enjoy.

Make an easy spice rub for veggies & meats.

Pulse 1½ teaspoons each cumin, coriander, black pepper, and fennel seeds and ¼ teaspoon ajwain into a coarse powder. Then, mix with 1½ teaspoons fine sea salt. Use to season potatoes, Brussels sprouts, salmon, lamb chops, and more.

Nandini is a variety of coriander native to Gujarat, favored for its long-lasting fragrance, large size, and vibrant color. It is lemony, deliciously nutty when toasted, and has a floral-herbal aroma, warm like a sunny meadow

story_image

Our coriander is grown on the 20-acre Sakariya family farm, amidst custard apples, guavas, millet, and heirloom wheat, and is named after the family’s beloved cow, Nandini, the undisputed matriarch of their regenerative farm.

story_image

The Sakarias have been farming for six generations, and follow zero-budget natural farming methods that minimize outside inputs. While the state government has pushed for monocropping of coriander, Dharmesh continues to intercrop, resulting in improved water retention and thriving plants.

story_image

Their methods have evolved with time: the fields are irrigated instead of rain-fed and tractors have replaced bullock carts for tilling the land, but their philosophy remains the same: nurture the soil and ecosystem, and the produce will flourish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Diaspora Spice Co.'s Nandini Coriander special?

Diaspora Spice Co.'s Nandini Coriander comes from the Sakariya family's regenerative farm in Gujarat, where an heirloom variety is grown for exceptional flavor. Unlike the flat, dusty coriander you may be used to, ours is fragrant and vibrant, with notes of lemon zest and fresh herbs that bring brightness to everything you cook.

How can I use Diaspora Spice Co.'s Nandini Coriander?

Nandini Coriander is one of those spices you'll reach for constantly. Use it in curries, dals, vegetable dishes, marinades, soups, spice rubs, and roasted vegetables. It also adds surprising depth to baked goods, fruit desserts, and even homemade CCF tea.

What are whole coriander seeds used for?

Our Nandini Coriander is sold as whole seeds, giving you the freshest possible flavor. Toast the seeds lightly to bring out their nutty, citrusy aroma, then grind them fresh just before cooking for a brightness that pre-ground coriander simply can't match. Use freshly ground coriander spice in curries, dals, marinades, spice blends, roasted vegetables, soups, and even baked goods wherever you want warm, citrusy depth.

Why is coriander an essential spice in Indian cooking?

Coriander is one of the foundational coriander Indian spices used across South Asian cooking. Its fresh, citrusy flavor balances richer spices like cumin, turmeric, and chilli, adding depth without overpowering a dish. You'll find it in everything from dals and curries to chutneys and vegetable dishes.

What are the coriander benefits in cooking?

The biggest benefit of coriander is its versatility. It adds brightness, warmth, and complexity to both savory and sweet recipes, making it one of the hardest-working spices in your pantry. Freshly harvested coriander is especially aromatic, which means a little goes a long way.

Are all your spices organic?

Our farm partners have been cultivating spices using practices that go "beyond organic" for well over five years. Although they haven't obtained USDA certification yet, this is primarily because the initial certification can be costly and may lead to cycles of debt. To meet USDA standards, four years of inspections and certificates are required after the first certification. However, we consider this process redundant and unnecessary since we conduct thorough testing on every batch we procure. It's a prerequisite for Diaspora Co. to select farm partners whose soil health and agricultural practices align with our internal standards of growing food regeneratively.

When do the spices expire? How long do they last?

Most of the spices are good 2 years from the mill date, which is listed on the harvest label sticker on the jar or bag. That being said, our spices are extremely potent and fresh as we take incredible care to source yearly and aim for quality, so 2 years is our most conservative guideline, compared to most spices in the grocery store which are often 5-10 years old upon purchase.

Do you sell wholesale?

We do! You can search for our wholesalers using our store locator here. And if you are a wholesaler and don’t see yourself on the locator, please email wholesale@diasporaco.com and we will add you to this ASAP! Thank you!

What is the best way to store the spices?

Store them in an airtight container in a dark, dry place. Do not store spices in direct sunlight, as this will shorten their shelf life.
