Coriander here means fresh coriander leaves (cilantro), the herb scattered over curries, salsas, and noodle bowls. One metric cup (250 ml) of loosely packed leaves weighs about 16 grams or 0.56 ounces. When a recipe lists coriander by the cup but you bought a bunch, converting by weight keeps the amount on track.

The delicate leaves are light and airy, so a cup of coriander weighs far less than denser herbs and varies with packing. Weighing in grams gives a steadier result for salsas, chutneys, and garnishes.
