It took me a week to research on this herb. I had to because I could not believe the lady who sold me this herb when I went to Tagaytay, she said that it was a coriander. Finally, I found out that it is called “culantro”. I got if from wikipedia. I love its smell, it always puts me in the mood to eat thai food. *sniff* By the way, I have this in my herb container garden. :)

Bandhania is the name for it in Trinidad. It’s Hindi for ‘Broad leaf herb’. It’s delicious in curry dishes and chutneys.

i spotted this wonderful herb in my kitchen garden when we shifted to our house in Dimapur, nagaland(india). I was quite amazed at the striking resemblence of the smell of this herb with our very own favorite coriander.Now we use in in almost all our dishes as a flavouring agent. It has got a fantastic aroma, and makes really delicious chutneys and curys.

many expats of here in davao who are of south american origin grow the herb at home. I like the strong smell and put it in place of the herder to grow coriander. If not carefull it becomes a weed as they seed quite well.
