We grew Cilantro plants and let them go to seed for Coriander seeds. I've harvested the seeds, but they are mostly green. Can I dry roast those, or can I only use them when they naturally turn brown?

You have to dry the coriander seeds under sun until it is completely dry. Then you can roast them in a dry pan.
