Coriander (cilantro) or basil

Use the same weight when basil is missing. It gives a fresher, more citrusy note and is less sweet than basil.

Use the same weight when coriander is missing. It is sweeter and more aniseed-like, so use a little less if the dish already has strong spices.

Use half to two-thirds of the weight; mint is more cooling and dominant, so add gradually and taste.
