Curry Leaves – Fresh

Curry Leaves

The curry leaf or Karri Patta (Scientific name: Murraya koenigii) plant is originally from southern Asia. People use it to cook Eastern and Indian food.

These are small, glittering-lemon-like leaves with a smell of curry. Use it to make curry immediately or keep them in the refrigerator for up to a couple of weeks in an airtight container or freeze them.

You can’t get the flavor and aroma of fresh curry leaves from the dried ones.

Is the Curry Powder the same?

Don’t confuse these leaves with curry powder. Let’s see what the difference is. Curry powder is usually not the powder of curry leaves. It’s just a mixture of various spices. People use it when they can’t find fresh karri patta. So, if you have fresh karri Patta, just forget the curry powder.

Uses

People use these leaves to develop a rich curry taste in rice, chutneys, soups, stews, and even dhals.
