Mint in hindi is called pudina while coriander is called dhaniya. Mint leaves bigger in size as compared to coriander leaves.


The shape of mint leaves is curly and they are of dense green color while coriander leaves have a flower like shape and are lighter in color.


The texture of the former is thick and has a very strong smell while coriander leaf is thin and has a subtle smell.


The taste of mint is very strong which leaves you with a cooling aftertaste. This is not the case with corriander leaves

Mints have square stems and opposite aromatic leaves. Many can spread vegetatively by stolons and can be aggressive in gardens. The small flowers are usually pale purple, pink, or white in colour and are arranged in clusters, either forming whorls or crowded together in a terminal spike.

The coriander produces a slender, hollow stem 30 to 60 mm high with bipinnate leaves and small flowers in pink or whitish umbels. The fruits, or seeds, are two semiglobular fruits joined on the commisural, or inner, sides.
