Lime leaf

Limbu Patta

0.3 g1 leaf

Fresh makrut/lime leaf about 0.3 g each.

Nothing truly replaces kaffir lime leaf's floral citrus aroma; curry leaf is the closest everyday stand-in.

• 
  Curry leaf

  Use the same number or double if you want more aroma; fry in oil at the start; gives curry aroma, not citrus.

• 
  Lime

  Use 1 g fine lime zest for 2 lime leaves; add near the end; gives citrus oil but no floral note.

• 
  Bay leaf

  Use 1 bay leaf for 2 lime leaves; add early; gives herbal depth only.
