I love curry leaves!
Not to be confused with curry powder, which is a dried spice blend.
These aromatic leaves come from the curry tree (Murraya koenigii) and can be used fresh or dried, whole or chopped. They add a wonderful, slightly spicy and citrusy flavor to dishes and are widely used in Ayurveda for their health benefits—supporting blood sugar balance, immunity, hair health, and digestion. They’re slightly bitter and pungent but absolutely flavorful!
I’ve also been brewing curry leaves with ginger to make a soothing tea for nausea, and I love adding them to my tadkas for an extra boost of aroma.
What are you cooking with this weekend?
