STIR-FRIED CORIANDER STALKS

Coriander stalks are the tender, edible stems of the coriander plant, full of flavor and aroma. They can be chopped and added to various dishes like soups, sauces, and chutneys. Additionally, they can be stir-fried or added raw to salads. Coriander stalks are rich in citronellol, a great antiseptic that helps fight microbial growth, treats ulcers, aids digestion, controls blood sugar, boosts immunity, and improves bone health.
So, instead of discarding coriander stems, use them in your cooking.
