Curry Leaves Plant (Curry Patta) - Essential Herb India

 

Curry Leaves Plant (Murraya koenigii), known for its fragrant leaves that are that are used for cooking, is essential for every kitchen or herb garden. Universally recognized and loved as Curry Patta, its glossy, pinnate leaves release a distinctive, pungent aroma and flavour that is fundamental to chutneys, curries, sambar, rasam, snacks, and tempering in South and West Indian cuisine, and increasingly popular everywhere. Growing your own ensures a constant supply of fresh leaves, far more potent and flavorful than dried ones. This small to medium-sized tree is relatively low-maintenance and thrives in warm, sunny conditions, making it well-suited for cultivation in pots or the ground across most parts of India. An absolute essential for any Indian home cook or anyone who enjoys authentic Indian flavours.
