My garden has herbs most of which is not planted by me. I use them to make chutney for which I have a nice recipe. Herbs are packed with goodness and this chutney surely plays a role in my maintaining good health.
Coriander leaves and seeds are regularly used in our household. Most curries are incomplete if coriander seeds are not included in the ingredients that go for making the paste. Unfortunately I have so far not succeeded in growing coriander leaves in my garden. I therefore buy coriander leaves and add them to the chutney that I mentioned above.
I use coriander leaves as a finishing touch to most of my dishes, mostly egg and meat. Our snacks also include chopped coriander leaves as also we make what is called ‘chutney’ which goes well with other snacks.
Coriander leaves besides their health properties have a pleasant aroma. Food not only should taste good but it should also smell good. Coriander leaves do that mostly to salads and snacks where they are chopped and sprinkiled on top
I just made a snack this morning with left over bread which is soaked in water and squeezed out. It is then mixed with chopped onions, chilli, and salt added to taste. Balls are made from this and deep fried. These fried wadas as we call them are then dipped in curds to which sugar and salt is added. Coriander leaves are then chopped and sprinkled over with a dash of chilli powder.
Coriander among other health benefits is excellent to cleanse our kidneys. It is therefore recommended that this wonder herb is included in everyone’s diet. I found an interesting link that talks about this herb in greater detail

Coriander was one of the condiments mother used in her curries not knowing what benefits coriander would have on our health.

Cilantro is an herb that I like but have found that many others don't (like my husband). He uses parsley instead. Most herbs and spices are loaded with health benefits so if I use one or the other, it's fine with me. :)
The chutney that I make is a combination of several herbs and each herb has specific benefits. I do add a few other ingredients such as onions, chillies.....
oh coriander leaves are well known to chinese cuisine, especially soups, grilled pork bellies and chicken rice.
I love the taste although kids don't like it because of the bitter like taste.
You can mix coriander leaves in salads. When eaten together your kids will not notice it. I have not found it to be bitter. Must taste it individually and see if it really tastes bitter.
I absolutely love herbs and spices in my cooking. My journey of cooking started when I was 10-11 years old. I'm an herb queen and put them in almost everything I cook because the smell is just amazing. Coriander is also great in spaghetti sauce, meats, mashed potatoes,etc. Cilantro is one of my favorites as well. We've made homemade garlic butter with fresh cilantro and it's absolutely dee-licious.
Herbs are getting a pride of place that they rightly deserve. I have just become aware of it and have introduced them in our cuisine.
I don't know if its just another name or maybe another herb or vegetable but I think, the one in the photo is the we call celery (I hope I'm not mistaken). We love putting it in the noodles because of the soft aroma and with regards to the health benefits, maybe this is just the other reason why we love it.
What you see in the image are coriander leaves. This is celery

It is good that we are becoming aware of the health benefits of herbs. All along atleast I just had them for their taste.
