Dry Curry Leaves /Kadi Patta

Curry leaves are an herb that are bright green and glossy and in the same family as citrus fruits. Although they possess the same name as curry powder, the two could not be any more different.

They have a characteristic flavor that is both bitter and sweet, with citrus undertones. The leaves can be found both fresh and dried and can be used in just about anything from rice to dal to eggs. Although some recipes may require you to remove the curry leaves after cooking, they are completely edible.
