Dry Curry Leaves (Kadi Patta)

Curry leaves (called kadi patta in Hindi) are small herb leaves with a slightly sweet flavour. They are used as an aromatic and flavouring in many Indian curries and soups.

If you rub a fresh curry leaf with your fingers, you can smell its fragrance on your fingers. The curry leaf plant (called meetha neem or sweet neem) is very common in most homes across India.
