Title: Fresh Curry Leaves
Post by: Curry addict bob on May 07, 2015, 12:50 PM

Fresh curry leaves does any of you use them? I sometimes use them but the dried ones have no flavour in my opinion.

I use them a lot fresh in traditional style south-Indian curries. I also use them for making south India style curry powders. Don't bother with dried ones, they have no taste. The fresh ones on the other hand are very pungent. Here's something I made a couple of weeks ago using curry powder and fresh.

Are they easy to grow in the UK?  I've seen some plants for sale on the web.

Ader1 to be honest - NO idea
I grow them in Thailand and they grow really well.

A good tip is NOT to be frightened in pruning - the growth is astounding afterwards.
