Description
Botanical Name: Murraya koenigii
Curry leaves are a defining aromatic of Indian (specially across South India) and Sri Lankan kitchens, valued for their distinctive fragrance and ability to transform simple dishes. When dried carefully, the leaves retain much of their natural depth, offering a concentrated, savoury aroma that releases beautifully when warmed in oil.
In cooking, dried curry leaves are typically tempered at the start of a dish, where they crackle gently in hot oil and perfume the base with notes that are citrusy, nutty and softly bitter. This aromatic foundation is essential to dals, vegetable stir-fries, coconut-based curries and lentil dishes, and also appears in modern fusion cooking, from roasted vegetables to spiced rice and savoury snacks.
Though used in small amounts, curry leaves contribute a sense of completeness and authenticity that cannot be replicated by other herbs. Their flavour sits quietly in the background, supporting spices such as mustard seed, cumin and turmeric while adding unmistakable character.
