dhania is corriander.

You'd normally distinguish anything in seed form by adding "daana" to it. "Taazi" for fresh (meaning, plant) form.

You can have dhania daana, methi daana etc.

Taazi dhania, taazi methi and so on. In some Eastern shops you are spoilt for choice and can get lots of seeds in plant (or sprout) form.

Then there is the powder variety. Do you know I haven't used the hindi word for that for so long that I can't remember it now. In the UK most shopkeepers will understand "powder".

Aubergine = Eggplant = Waingan

Good thinking to make the thread a Sticky, Karen.

Take care.
