Coriander
Coriander leaves add flavor and aroma to almost every Bangladeshi curry and mash; Insaf sells one variety of coriander.
Coriander is an aromatic leafy herb used to finish dishes with fresh flavor. It contains vitamin C and vitamin K, a useful addition to a daily diet.
Many Bangladeshi curries feel incomplete without a scattering of fresh coriander leaves, making it a kitchen staple.
Growing it in Bangladesh
- Sowing time
- Insaf's Morocco variety can be sown all year and is ready for market in just 30-35 days.
- Weather & soil
- Coriander grows best in cool, dry weather, and a lightly sunny spot keeps the leaf color and aroma strong.
- Care
- Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid letting water pool
- Thin out crowded seedlings so plants have room to grow
- Harvesting leaves while young gives the best flavor and aroma
