Curry Leaves

Curry leaves

Curry leaves are small in size and long, slender, and oval in shape narrowing to a point, averaging 2-4 centimetres in length and 1-2 centimetres in width. The shiny, dark green leaves grow pinnately along a stem, and each branch can hold up to twenty, tightly clustered leaves. Curry leaves are extremely aromatic and have a strong flavour that has been compared to citrus, asafoetida, anise, and lemongrass. When cooked, Curry leaves have a mild and slightly pungent bite with a nutty aroma.
