CURRY LEAF

Curry leaves, derived from the Murraya koenigii tree, are an essential ingredient in Indian and South Asian cooking. Known for their rich aroma and slightly citrusy, earthy flavor, they are commonly used in tempering and seasoning a variety of dishes such as curries, dals, and chutneys. Beyond their culinary use, curry leaves are valued in traditional medicine for their numerous health benefits — including aiding digestion, improving hair and skin health, and supporting blood sugar regulation. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, B, C, and iron, these vibrant green leaves not only enhance flavor but also contribute to overall wellness. Curry leaves can be used fresh, dried, or in powdered form, and are often grown at home in warm climates or pots.
