Indian Kitchen Spices and Herbs

Curry leaves

Curry is a small tree native to India, which the aromatic leaves are used as an herb for cooking, adding a characteristic flavor to different recipes such as

• Aloo Gobi
• Mussel Rogan
• Chicken Phatia
• Chutney dressings
• Many other dishes

Also known as kadi patta, curry leaves are dark green and almond shaped that can be used fresh or dry, as well as grounded with other spices and fruits that give the Indian cuisine its characteristic flavor.

Due to its shape, they are similar to the Neem leaves, another tree native to India. Because of their short shelf life, curry leaves are more commonly found dry, whether as entire leaves, minced, or pulverized.

In the Western culture, curry leaves are usually confused with curry powder, a mixture of Indian spices resulted from British experiments blending curry leaves, coriander, cinnamon, turmeric, cumin, clove, and many other herbs.
