Coriander seeds are usually toasted and ground before using; otherwise, they can have a tough texture to chew. Ground coriander is used as a spice in dishes like curry and in baked goods. Coriander seeds has floral and citrusy flavor, it is a very fresh-tasting spice. Its mildly sweet, lemony flavor is often harnessed in conjunction with other spices in savory recipes; you'll often see cumin and coriander paired together. The best way to get the maximum flavour out of coriander seeds is to dry-fry them. Heat a frying pan, do not add oil, add the seeds and fry them over medium heat, stirring constantly. Seeds are ready when the warm aroma is released.
