Description

Commonly used as a seasoning, this leaf adds a special flavor to every dish. But there is more to the humble curry leaf than simply flavor. Curry leaves, which soften when cooked, are used to flavor rice, chutneys, soups, stews, and even dals. To bring out their flavors, it’s recommended that curry leaves be cooked in oil first. The sautéed leaves can then be added back in while the other ingredients are cooking. Sometimes curry leaves, sautéed in hot oil and other spices, are used to drizzle onto finished dishes.
