“Well loved he garleek, oynons, and eek lekes. And for to drinken strong wyn, reed as blood.”
Geoffrey Chaucer (1340 ? - 1400)
Curry Leaf Tree (Murraya koenigii) Fresh leaves from this tree are an indispensable ingredient in Indian cooking. The leaves are pretty much unknown in the West because they lose most of their flavor when dried. They have a distinct, spicy curry-like flavor and odor. (This is NOT the same plant called 'Curry Plant' [Helichrysum angustifolium] which is grown for its essential oil, used in fruit flavors for candies, ice cream, chewing gum, and perfumes).
