Curry leaves, (murraya koenigii), are a fragrant herb from South East Asia, and India. They are used in South Indian and Sri Lankan cuisines. They are leaves of a small deciduous tree in the citrus family. They are shiny, and look like citrus leaves. They have a pungent, curry fragrance. Curry leaves can also be found dried.
Curry leaves enhance metabolism, control diabetes, and will help reduce the cholesterol in coconut oil when used together.
