The words of Mathilde Rœllinger

Curry leaves can be used instead of bay leaves for broths and sauces and are the secret to a good curry sauce.

Simply crush the leaves to enjoy their extraordinary warm and herbal fragrance. 

Curry leaves remind me of my parents’ kitchen. A few years ago, my mother brought a small curry leaf plant back from a trip and put it in a plant pot on her kitchen windowsill. The plant has now grown into a bush which touches the ceiling. Curry leaf plants can grow to six meters, so we are wondering just how high it will go! I love crushing the leaves and smelling their fragrance.

Story

The scientific name for curry leaf is murraya koenigii - it’s quite hard to remember. The more commonly used name is caloupile which comes from the Tamil word karuveppilai. It is also called caloupile and caripoule.  

This tree is very commonly found in the wild in India and Sri Lanka. Curry leaf is also grown in these countries, and in China, Vietnam, Mauritius Island and Reunion Island where it is used fresh to add fragrance to curries, sauces, and chutneys. 

Even dried curry leaves keep their wonderful fragrances.
