How to Grow 3 Popular Indian Herbs

Posted on April 30th, 2012 by admin in Herb Garden Ideas


Indian food is delicious, but sometimes fresh herbs for the recipes you want to make can be hard to find at the grocery store. So why not grow your own Indian herbs? Here's some helpful tips to help you do just that.

Coriander is a seed and it's leaves are known as Cilantro. Cilantro is used in Indian, Mexican dishes and even Middle Eastern dishes. If you're growing outdoors, wait until May. It is not ideal to transplant Coriander so growing it from seed at the place where you want it to grow is best. Coriander is delicate and needs protection from the wind, but it can grow up to 2 ft! Coriander seeds should be replanted every few weeks to ensure a continuous crop throughout the season.

Fenegreek's leaves are potent and are to be used sparingly. Fenegreek dislikes being transplanted as well. Plant Fenegreek in May when all frost is past. Grow it in full sun in slightly acidic soil. Be generous with compost! Fenegreek does not thrive on neglect like a lot of herbs.

Cumin is popular in Mexican and Middle Eastern dishes as well as Indian dishes. Sow Cumin in middle of May and harvest it in September. Like most herbs, the soil must be well drained. Cumin does not like to be transplanted either, so plant the seeds in a block, not a row. The plants will eventually lean on each other, this is normal.

*Note: It is a good idea to cut flower heads off the plants because allowing the plants to flower can make the herb leaves scattered.
