How to keep coriander fresh: Let’s face it, coriander is a silent hero in Indian cuisine. Freshly chopped coriander sprinkled on dal, ground coriander leaves in chutney, or to finish biryani, its taste and aroma take the food to the next level. But the problem arises when the same coriander dries up within two days. The green bunch from the vegetable market begins to turn black in the refrigerator, the leaves become thin, and eventually end up in the garbage. This happens in most households, and that’s why people think twice before buying coriander. The good news is that no expensive containers or machines are needed to keep coriander fresh for long. With a little understanding, proper methods and everyday ingredients, you can keep coriander green for a week or more.
