I made the perfect curry yesterday. I've been trying to perfect it for years and never managed to get it quite right. The recipe is below (I found 2 online and combined them). You can add other veggies, peppers etc., but I like mine kind of plain
I made the perfect curry yesterday. I've been trying to perfect it for years and never managed to get it quite right. 1 teaspoon Coriander[br
Cilantro – optional garnish
4. Serve over rice, with Naan bread, and with plenty of fresh cilantro.
I bet that is lovely. Can I ask why you say cilantro for the fresh herb and coriander when it is ground? (Not you personally but North Americans)
The reason I ask is we don't say cilantro at all here.
LOL I have no idea, it's an American thing. I have never understood this. I am Welsh and never heard it called cilantro until I came to the US. For this recipe what I mean is ground coriander powder in the sauce while cooking, and then I added fresh coriander right before serving it.

I believe its referred to as Coriander when the seeds are dried and crushed, and cilantro when the volatile oils in fresh leaves are the flavor component. I could be wrong though; not the biggest chef.

I had the discussion of Coriander and Cilantro that last time my Mum came to visit. They simply don't use the word Cilantro in the UK or many other countries:
From Food.com:
An herb with wide delicate lacy green leaves and a pungent flavor. The seed of the cilantro plant is known as coriander. Although cilantro and coriander come from the same plant, their flavors are very different and cannot be substituted for each other. (Some countries refer to the cilantro as coriander, so any references to "fresh coriander" or "coriander leaves" refer to cilantro.) Note: "Culantro" is an herb related to cilantro that is widely used in dishes throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Far East. All parts of the plant are edible, but the fresh leaves and the dried seeds are the most commonly used in cooking. Coriander is commonly used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Indian, South Asian, Mexican, Latin American, Chinese, African and Southeast Asian cuisine.

Good find, explains it perfectly.
Are you north or south Walian?
South. Born and raised in the Gower (not in the posh part....)
The coriander vs. cilantro thing always trips me up too, as it's called coriander here too. Same thing with rocket vs. arugula.
Speaking of which, tonight I made a salad with roasted veggies (pumpkin / carrot / zucchini), coriander, rocket, and feta in a paprika-lemon-EVOO dressing. Then some salmon steaks with an avocado-cucumber salsa, and a (store-bought) chocolate torte with a cream and jam centre.
So rocket is just arugula? When we were in London last year before Glastobury, we went to a burger place that had "rocket" on all of their burgers. I asked the waitress what it was and she just said a leaf. I ate it but I had no idea it was just arugula.

Yep, one and the same! I think arugula is more of a North American-specific term, but DQMOT. I recently found out they come from the same Latin root word - I always thought it was called rocket because it kind of shoots up. Ummm... whoops?
YES. It was amazing! One of the best meals out that I've had in Nashville. Pricey, but hey, it was my birthday I didn't get to snap a photo of the pork belly because we devoured it as soon as it came out.
