Announcing Herb Mania: Coriander/Cilantro

'Herb Mania' is an event started by lovely Dee of Ammalu's kitchen, to celebrate the freshness of our dear herbs; to let the world know that 'herbs' can be used beyond mere garnishing.

....and I have the opportunity to host this month's edition. Thanks Dee.


Coriandrum Sativum, widely known as 'Coriander' is a herb mostly used in Asian, Middle-eastern and Latin American cooking. Its commonly referred as 'Cilantro' in United States and Canada, deriving its name from a Spanish root word. This herb is so versatile and has been used for centuries in cuisines in many parts of the world.

Lets celebrate the goodness of this bright green herb all this month...:)

Rules:
-------

1. Prepare any vegetarian dish using Coriander as one of the ingredients (in any form) - fresh, frozen, dried or seeds.

2. Post the dish on your blog and then provide a link back to this announcement and Dee's blog. You can send any of your archived posts . Just re-post it and provide a link back to this post.

3. Email your entry to info(dot)siri(at)gmail(dot)com, with 'Herb Mania' as its subject line and with the following details by Oct 15th 2008:

- Your Name
- Blog Name

4. Multiple entries are more than welcome - more the better!

5. If you do not have a blog, but wish to participate please send me your name, the recipe and a picture and I will post it in the round up.


Lets get cooking then!!!

Cheers,
Siri
