Curry leaf

herb

Curry leaf

Kadi Patta

0.2 g1 teaspoon

0.8 g1 tablespoon

0.2 g1 leaf

One fresh leaf weighs ~0.25 g; loosely packed cup is ~12 g (~0.25 g/tsp)

Instead of Curry leaf

Curry leaves have a unique pungent, nutty, and citrusy aroma that cannot truly be replicated by any other herb or spice.

Bay leaf
Fry 1 bay leaf for every 5 curry leaves in hot oil; imparts a warm, woodsy background note, but misses the citrus-sulphury punch entirely.
Lime juice
Add a small squeeze (about 5 ml per sprig of curry leaves) right before serving; provides sharp citrus top notes without the toasty, herbal aroma.
