CORIANDER
Also known as cilantro, coriander is the most common herb used in Thai
cooking. The whole plant is used--the root, stem and leaves. The seeds are
roasted and then ground in a spice mill and used in curry pastes. Fresh
coriander is available from Asian food stores, greengrocers, or in pots
from plant nurseries. The leaves are used for their fresh, peppery
flavour, and as a garnish. For storage, wash and dry the fresh herbs
before placing them in plastic bags in the refrigerator--they will keep
for 5-6 days. Dried coriander is not a suitable substitute.
