Curry Leaves
Curry leaves are the fragrant leaves of the curry tree, a tropical plant native to India. Known for their rich, earthy, and herbaceous flavor, curry leaves are an essential ingredient in Indian and Sri Lankan cooking. They are commonly used in tempering dishes, adding depth to curries, lentils, stews, sambars, and vegetable dishes. The fresh leaves are often sautéed in hot oil to release their full flavor, which infuses into the dish. Besides culinary uses, curry leaves have been celebrated in traditional medicine for their digestive benefits, antioxidant properties, and ability to support hair health.
