Grow your own Coriander!

















(Click on photo to enlarge)

Method

All you have to do to grow Coriander leaves is sow some coriander seeds (the regular stuff you buy in packets from your grocery shop, which you use in cooking) in a pot, not too deep in the soil. And they sprout and form coriander plants! Kind of obvious, right? - but it never occurred to me :)

As you can see, practically all seeds grow into plants, so maybe you can sow less than we did :)

Since we use these leaves raw most of the time, growing them at home ensures that they are free from pesticides and other contamination.

This was another big learning from my maid, Mary. I owe my kitchen garden to her.
