For curry leaves, see here:  http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=2469.0 (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=2469.0)

I don't think there is really a substitute for either fresh, dried or powdered curry leaf; it has a distinctive taste and smell and is quite unlike anything else that I'm aware of.
