Mehek Curry leaves 30 g

Dried curry leaves (also known as curry leaves or karipatta) are aromatic leaves obtained from the Murraya koenigii plant, which grows mainly in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia, especially in India, Sri Lanka and other parts of Southeast Asia. These leaves are an essential part of many dishes in Indian, Sri Lankan, Thai and Malaysian cuisine, both in dried and fresh form. They have a distinctive but delicate aroma that is released during cooking and enriches dishes with their characteristic flavour.

Use in the kitchen:

Indian cuisine: Curry leaves are the basis for many traditional Indian dishes. They are mainly used in the preparation of tadka (tempering), a technique where spices are briefly fried in oil to release their aroma. Curry leaves are often added to various sauces, dals (pulses), rice or curry dishes.

Soups and sauces: In Asian cuisines, curry leaves are also used in soups and sauces, where they add a complex aromatic background.

Salads and marinades: In some dishes, dried curry leaves are ground into a powder and added to marinades or salads to add a specific flavour.

Asian cuisine: In addition to Indian cuisine, dried curry leaves are also used in Thai and Malaysian cuisine, where they can be included in meat dishes or vegetable stir-fries.
