Always use "MICROWAVE MODE " for roasting coriander.Make powder in small batches & always store in air tight container to retain freshness.

After 2 minutes of roasting be careful in setting time in intervals of 1 minute or less as there are chances of Coriander seeds getting burnt 

Ingredients:

1)Place  coriander in a microwave safe bowl or flat baking tray or cookie sheet .take a dish which has a bigger circumference so that peanuts are spread wide across the dish and will get roasted evenly

3.Microwave on HIGH power for 2 minutes initially.after 2 minutes remove dish & stir coriander seeds upside down with spoon

4.Microwave again for another 1 minute or less & remove dish .Now check the dhane would have got roasted to a brown colour.If you want to roast them more than repeat process for another minute or half a minute .
