Ground coriander from Malwatte, packed in a flat printed sachet that holds 35g. Made from the dried seeds of the coriander plant, the powder has a mild, nutty and lightly citrus flavour that sits at the base of most curry blends.
In Sri Lankan cooking coriander is used together with cumin, fennel and chilli in everyday curries. Malwatte Valley Plantations PLC has exported since 1992 and processes and packs its spices in its own factories, which hold ISO 22000 certification.
