Appearance 

A vibrant green paste with tiny specks of garlic throughout. You can see it's made from real coriander leaves - the color is that natural green you get from fresh herbs, not some artificial shade.

Texture 

Smooth and spreadable, but with just enough texture to show it's ground from real ingredients. It's not watery or separated - just a good, thick paste that's easy to measure and use.

Flavor  

First you get that fresh, citrusy taste of coriander, followed by the warm, pungent kick of garlic. The balance is just right - neither overpowers the other. It tastes like you just chopped everything fresh, but without all the work.

Aroma  

When you open the jar, the smell hits you immediately - that amazing combination of fresh coriander and sharp garlic. It smells like the start of something delicious cooking in your kitchen.

Versatility  

Use it as the base for curries, mix into marinades for meat or vegetables, stir into yogurt for quick raita, or add to salad dressings. It's one of those ingredients you'll find yourself reaching for again and again.

Precautions  

Contains fresh garlic and coriander. Refrigerate after opening and use within 4 weeks. The color might darken slightly over time - that's completely natural and doesn't affect the flavor. Always use a clean, dry spoon.

FAQs

How long does it really stay fresh? 

We recommend using it within 4 weeks of opening, but honestly, most people finish the jar much faster because they use it so often. Just keep it refrigerated and always use a clean spoon.

Can I use this instead of fresh coriander and garlic?  

In most cooked dishes, absolutely yes. For garnishing where you want fresh coriander leaves as decoration, you might still want some fresh herbs. But for the flavor base of your dishes, it works perfectly.

Does the garlic taste very strong?  

It has a definite garlic presence, but the coriander balances it nicely. If you're particularly sensitive to garlic, you might use a bit less than the recipe suggests.

Why does mine look darker than the picture?  

Coriander naturally darkens over time, especially when exposed to air. This doesn't mean it's gone bad - it's just what fresh herbs do. The flavor remains great.

Can I freeze this paste?  

You can, but we don't recommend it because the texture changes. It's better to use it while fresh.

What if my kids don't like garlic?  

Start with just half a teaspoon in your curries or marinades. The flavor melds into the dish and becomes less pronounced than when you use raw garlic. Many kids don't even notice it's there.
