If you have cooked something today, the highest chances are that you have reached out for the this, chopped and tossed it into your dish or used its bright green leaves as garnish. Coriander or the several names Indians call it lovingly, dhania, kothamali, cilantro is the superstar of your kitchen. This herb is packed with flavours. It can spice up any dish you are making. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, every Indian loves coriander in almost all dishes.

Not just the flavour, coriander is also a superfood. It is antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, anti-diabetic, anxiolytic, anti-epileptic, anti-depressant, anti-mutagenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-dyslipidemic, anti-hypertensive, neuro-protective and diuretic. It is believed to help control diabetes and decrease cholesterol.

Sign my petition to confer coriander the status of national herb! The herb which makes every delicacy flavourful and sparks joy in our hearts must get the glory it truly deserves. Or it will go and get that title else where... aur aap kahenge Ranveer aapne bataya nahi!!!
