Greenfields Curry Leaves – 12g

Greenfields Curry Leaves – 12g are carefully dried leaves used as a foundational aromatic in Indian cuisine, known for their distinctive flavour that combines subtle citrus notes with a nutty, slightly herbal depth. When added to hot oil, they release a fragrant aroma that forms the base of many traditional dishes, especially in tempering techniques where spices are briefly fried to unlock their full character. The flavour is gentle yet essential, enhancing dishes without overpowering other ingredients.

The texture is dry and slightly brittle, designed to be added whole during cooking. When heated, the leaves soften and infuse their aroma into oils, sauces, and gravies, creating a layered flavour profile that develops gradually. They are typically used early in the cooking process to maximise flavour release and are often combined with mustard seeds, cumin, and other whole spices.

Greenfields Curry Leaves – 12g fit naturally into traditional cooking. They are ideal for South Indian curries where they provide a fragrant base, perfect for lentil dals where they add subtle aromatic depth, and work well in vegetable stir-fries where tempering enhances overall flavour. They are also commonly used in rice dishes and chutneys where a light citrus-herbal note is desired.
