How to buy, store, and use curry Leaves in cooking?

Curry Leaves or Karapincha is a fresh herb from the Curry tree(Karapincha Tree). The tree is tropical and belongs to the same family as the citrus fruit. Every indigenous South Asian home has recipes on how to cook with these. Without this herb, they do not cook vegetables, fish, or meat curries. Karapincha plant and rural Sri Lankans associate a casual relationship with their ancient curry. However, some people worldwide believe that curry powder and this herb come from the same plant, but that is entirely wrong. 

Structure of the leaves

This almond-shaped compound leaf has a shiny surface when fresh. Furthermore, the leaves are small and narrow to a point in length, slender and oval, usually 2-4 cm long and 1-2 cm wide. It grows pinnately along a shiny, dark green leaf stem and can hold up to twenty tight clusters of leaves on each branch.

Taste

Ever worried about what they taste like? Here it is. They give an extremely aromatic taste and have a solid, pleasant taste. Also, a bitter-ish taste yet a sweet, pungent aroma can be found in the herb. However, this leaf has a characteristic flavor, but it isn't easy to define the authentic taste, which is comparable to that of citrus, anise, or lemongrass. 

Once the fresh curry leaves are cooked, they impart a sharp bite and a nutty aroma to the dish. They give the best taste when fried with coconut oil.

Types of products

When it comes to defining varieties of the herb, it's not a broad topic. However, there are three types of curry plants, which vary mainly in size. The Karapincha tree - the largest of the three varieties - grows up to 15 feet and is a common source of store-bought leaves.
