How much dried Coriander would you substitute for 1 quarter of a cup fresh coriander?

Coriander is an herb that has two primary forms: leaves and fruit. The leaves are typically sold as an herb called cilantro in the United States and the fruit is typically sold as whole coriander seeds or ground coriander. The flavor of the leaves is very different than the flavor of the fruit and I would not recommend substituting one for the other. Cilantro is typically used in Mexican cuisine and Coriander is typically used in Indian cuisine. It is one of the ingredients in garam masala for example. If you can't find fresh cilantro, you could substitute parsley. The flavor would not be the same but it is a better choice than using ground coriander seeds.

You can replace coriander with cilantro, which is the leafy form of the seed, coriander. This is not an exact match, and the flavor/scent of cilantro is stronger than coriander, so be very careful.

How much fresh coriander is equal to dried coriander?
One tbsp of fresh coriander would be one teaspoon of dried and vice-versa. That is a three to one ratio. This formula works for all herbs. Just remember 1tbsp fresh = 1 tsp. dried. Packaged dried herbs are stronger than fresh herbs, but lose their potency as they age. If the container is new then use a bit more sparingly. Fresh herbs are the way to go to get the best results.

No. Cumin (the spice) is the dried seeds of the plant Cuminum cymenum.Cilantro refers to the leaves of the plant Coriandrum sativum.

Are parsley and coriander leaves the same?
Coriander is actually part of the parsley family. Its leaves (technically called cilantro) have a stronger, more distinctive flavor that can dominate a dish (as opposed to plain, or Italian parsley, that is more mild). For many, it's an acquired taste -- some people feel it tastes like soap. In addition, coriander seeds (really the mature, dried fruit) are used as a separate spice (tasting nothing like the leaves), generally ground and served in Middle Eastern dishes along with spices like Cumin.
Since cilantro is the same thing as coriander why not use it as the substitute?
Coriander is a plant. Cilantro is a term referring to coriander in the broadleaf growth stage prior to bolting. Use of the name cilantro is uncommon outside of North America. In the broadleaf stage of growth, the entire plant is used, root, leaf and stem. It is mild in flavour and not at all bitter. This is what is required when a recipes specifies cilantro in the United States, or coriander in the most of the world. When the ground seed is required this should be specified as "ground coriander seed" but sometimes in the US, the seeds (actually dried berries) are referred to as coriander. No doubt this is a source of culinary confusion. The stages of growth produce similar flavours. The seeds are more pungent than the leaves, with a stronger citrus flavor. They may be slightly bitter depending on soil acidity. You may have heard the leaves described as bitter. What this shows is that someone tried to used coriander that had bolted (exited the cilantro stage as the plant prepares to flower). Bolting coriander has finer, sparser, darker foliage with unmistakable light/dark striation along stems. The plant is spindly, and takes on a bitter flavour with a soapy texture. If planning to substitute, be aware of these differences. Especially keep in mind that because the flavor of the seeds tends to be stronger than that of the leaves, you'll need substantially less of them. Don't be afraid to experiment, and have fun.
