A tier
Indian coriander (dhania) culture uses both fresh leaves and ripe seed extensively—leaves in chutneys and curries, seed as fundamental spice. Indian-selected strains often balance leaf and seed goals. Chop stems into tadka bases; never treat leaves as optional garnish only. Toast seeds for different flavour dimension.
