Any of the grocers in Boston's Chinatown will have coriander (as it
is usually known around here).  Ask if you don't see it.  There is also
a good (albeit a little more expensive) shop in Manchester, NH called
Yee's Oriental Market.  It's run by a married couple, he from Thailand
and she from China, and they stock many kinds of Indian and Asian foods.
It's at 123 Hanover St., off of Elm St. near Zayre's.  For bulk spices,
I always go to India Tea and Spice Co. on Common St. in Belmont, Mass. 
You'll go broke if you buy spices off the supermarket shelves.  Buy whole
spices and a good grinder.  They'll keep indefinitly that way.
Bon appetit!
