Indian Bay Leaf (Cassia/Tejapatta), Certified Organic
$3.99 – $9.99
Known as cassia leaf or tejapatta. This adds subtle cinnamon flavor to soups, stews, curries, chili, as well as rice dishes. Use whole. Remove before serving.
These are whole dried Indian Bay Leaves, which means they are not ground or powdered. However, they are dried leaves, so they may be cracked or broken in the container.
Other names: ತಮಾಲ (Tamaala) in Kannada (ಕನ್ನಡ), மரப்பட்டை இலை (Pattai Illai) in தமிழ் (Tamizh), tejpat, [3] tejapatta, Malabar leaf, Indian bark, Indian cassia, or malabathrum
Appearance: Long, wide, olive green in color, with three veins down the length of the leaf
Typically used: Whole as a seasoning and removed before serving.
Origin: A tree in the Lauraceae family, native to India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and China
Flavor: Subtle cinnamon
Aroma: Cinnamon
Culinary uses: Add to soups, stews, curries, chili, as well as rice dishes. Use whole and remove before serving.
Indian Bay Leaf is tough and is best used whole or in large pieces and then removed before eating. When it's in little pieces, they can be sharp or gritty, which is uncomfortable to eat.
What's the difference between the Indian Bay Leaf and the non-Indian Bay Leaf?
The most common Bay Leaf in North America is called Laural Bay Leaf (Laurus nobilis). It's not related to the Indian Bay Leaf, and it has a different more savory flavor, whereas Indian Bay Leaf tastes like light cinnamon.

Love!!!
Oh my goodness, I wasn’t expecting the aroma or size of these leaves. So much nicer and more fragrant than the bay leaves I was accustomed to.

Large Leaves
This is my first time using Indian bay leaves, and my first impression was of the more generous sized leaves than I have seen on more average bay leaves. Just one in a kichari recipe, or soup recipe is plentiful.
