$17.99 – $39.99
Murraya koenigii
Curry leaves are the shiny, dark green, aromatic leaves of a tree from the citrus fruit family that release a deliciously nutty aroma when fried in hot oil.
- Used in curries, vegetable dishes, chutneys, pickles
- Make an aromatic infused olive oil
- Grows to 2-3m in Melbourne
Crush a curry leaf between your fingers and breathe in the slightly spicy, citrus scent.
Plant a Curry Tree in the garden. Dried curry leaves have almost no flavour and most recipes usually call for fresh curry leaves which can be left in the finished dish, unlike Bay leaves which are usually removed after cooking.
Use the leaves on the BBQ to add a warm, smoky, spicy flavour to fish, meat and potatoes.
Simply pile a large handful of leaves onto the BBQ plate and place the fish or meat on top and cook covered with a deep lid from a large pan and impress your hungry guests!
NOTE: The seeds of a Curry Tree are poisonous and should not be eaten.
