Default Tamarind plants / indian herbs & spices

Following up to "Mungo \"Two Sheds\" Toadfoot" :

There are two sorts of edible coriander; one with spidery leaves
grown to produce the culinary seeds, and one with larger flat leaves
which is the sort to use when a recipe calls for a handful of chopped
coriander. So, the culinary seeds you planted would not produce the
leaf one if that's what you wanted.


That'll be why it didn't work then! Thank you, I thought as much.


But the one with frilly leaves (a bit like a cross between dill and
parsley) can be used just as well and taste the same.
