Curry leaves (1 pound)

Curry leaves, also known as Kadi Patta, are aromatic, glossy green leaves native to South Asia and widely used in Indian cooking. These small, vibrant leaves come from the Murraya koenigii tree and are known for their distinctive flavor that adds depth and freshness to curries, dals, chutneys, and tempering. When lightly fried in oil or ghee, they release a nutty, citrusy aroma that enhances any dish.

Culinary & Cultural Importance:
Curry leaves are a staple in Indian households, especially in South Indian cuisine, where they are used in seasoning dishes like sambar, rasam, and curries. Beyond their culinary role, they are also valued in Ayurveda for their healing properties and refreshing fragrance.
