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. I'd replace 1tsp of dried coriander with 1/2tsp of dried cilantro or 1Tbsp of fresh, minced cilantro.Cumin might make a reasonable replacement. Depends whether you need ground or fresh.

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.

Are coriander and cardamom the same thing?

No. Cumin (the spice) is the dried seeds of the plant Cuminum cymenum.Cilantro refers to the leaves of the plant Coriandrum sativum. The spice coriander is the dried fruits ("seeds") of the same plant, and tastes different (among other things, it doesn't have the "dish soap" taste that some people perceive in the leaves; the ability to detect this appears to be genetic).The two plants are in the same "family", but that's not saying much ... so are dill, anise, and carrots.
