Coriandrum sativum
Stone-ground Kerala coriander powder with a warm, citrusy, and mildly sweet flavour. Made from whole seeds roasted to order — worlds apart from pre-ground commercial varieties.
Malli Podi is the workhorse of the Kerala spice box. Our coriander seeds are sourced from farms in Idukki and Wayanad where the cool climate produces seeds with exceptionally high essential oil content. Seeds are lightly dry-roasted on traditional iron pans to awaken their flavour, then stone-ground in small batches. The result is a powder with a warm golden colour, a complex aroma of citrus and warm spice, and a flavour depth that store-bought powder simply cannot match.
