How to Use Dried Curry Leaves
Use dried curry leaves with dals, samosas, dosa fillings, chutneys, snacks, sambars, soups, breads, rice, kofta, and vegetables. Our organic curry leaves give a zesty flavor to yogurt-based dishes, and also go well with vegetable dishes, such as fried cabbage, lentils, beans, okra, or eggplant. The dried curry leaf is removed before serving and not eaten whole. It releases flavor when toasted ghee, and this mixture can then be stirred into foods. Organic curry leaves can also be toasted, ground, or crushed to season or garnish soups, sambars, and curries.

This family goes out their way to provide provide the highest quality product at a great prices. Not even one leaf was broken WOW. Supersonic shipping. Perfect packing. Thanks again and again.
Whole dried curry leave pop from the moment you cook with them. I placed them in an 18 bean soup as well as a gravy made with mushrooms scallions red chili powder and more. Boom!: totally enhanced taste with the curry leaves! Beautifully green. Care is in each package. Notably, the leaves are whole not even one crushed in the bag... That is amazing! Sorry no pictures The 18 bean soup was a big hit. And I consume the gravy in one sitting. So no pictures this review. Quality speaks independently! Thanks!
The aroma pops, flavor is delicious. When no fresh leaves are available, this fits the bill nicely. I use these in kitchdi regularly. Such a good flavor in fact, that I’d like to try some simple curry crackers.
Convenient and delicious! These add a mild curry flavor to any dish, are a beautiful herbal green color, and are also easy to store & use because they're dried instead of fresh. Most recently, I made a bowl of steamed rice served with a fried egg, bacon crumbles, and garlic achaar and topped the bowl with these dried curry leaves. Absolutely delightful!
Had a recipe that included curry leaves. I knew I had no chance of finding fresh, so I found dried leaves at this site. The recipe was for a rice side dish to roast chicken in milk (Julius Roberts). The dish was delicious and I will be using curry leaves a lot more often.
Love finding new ingredients to try in recipes. This checked boxes for me of being organic and gluten-free (I have celiacs). I used it so far in kitchari. Thanks so much!
Since I live in a rural area with no Indian markets, I am real happy to have these dried leaves, which flavor people are always curious about because of not being able to identify it. It is my new stew go-to!
No longer reliance on fresh curry leaves which are rarely available in stores. So no unpredictability on whether I will get this important ingredient for my cooking. I always have this on hand.
I will continue to order from your company. Your items are excellent and your prices are fantastic. All your spices are organic. Most of your items are organic and I love that about this company. Your prompt service and quick shipping is all a plus I rate this company extremely high.
How many times you have bought fresh curry leaves from a grocery store and they have gone bad? It has happened to me a few times and the dried curry leaves from Indian foods is the answer to my problem. I love them because of their long shelf life, It's organic and Non-GMO, has a great fragrance.
Very essential for South Indian dishes. I was looking for a way of using curry leaves without buying the big packets of fresh leaves in the market which go bad very quickly. This solved my problem.
I was unable to buy fresh curry leaves so thought I would try the dry, but did not notice any difference in flavor or potency of my kitchari when adding 12 leaves.
These are good quality and seem very fresh even though they’re dried. I bought these curry leaves to make tea to help lower my blood pressure. I don’t know if it’s working out because I’ve only done it a few times. We shall see!
I travel to India, Asia, South America, and Europe to bring you back some of the most pristine, pure, organic clean ingredients in the world. All the products you'll find here at Pure Indian Foods are ones that me and my family use personally.
My family has been making ghee since 1889. Today, my wife, Nalini (aka "The Ghee Lady"), carries on this tradition. She still makes all the ghee and tightens every jar by hand.
