Indian bay leaf

Tej Patta

0.2 g1 leaf

Dried Indian bay leaf averages about 0.2 g each.

Indian bay leaf (tej patta) has a cinnamon-clove note that ordinary bay lacks; bay leaf is the closest.

• 
  Bay leaf

  Use the same number or weight. Ordinary bay is milder and lacks the cinnamon-clove note; add early and remove before serving.

• 
  Cassia bark (Chinese cinnamon)

  Use about 1 g cassia for every 2 g Indian bay leaf. It gives a warm cinnamon note but not a true laurel flavour; remove before serving.

• 
  Cinnamon stick

  Use a small 1 cm piece for 2 leaves. It adds warm sweetness but not bay flavour; remove before serving.
