You don't freeze curry leaves. You dry them and then refrigerate them.
I am always entertained by videos with rather exotic ingredients. Where I live there will never be Curry leaves, I had to laugh. Of course, there is no Indian grocery store( or restaurant). I have enough trouble getting Mexican things. I tried a few weeks ago to find fresh horseradish, nope, Ginger, nope, pearl onions, not a chance. I could go on but you get my point. We don't all live in a big city where we can get exotic things like pearl onions! Kinda pathetic, I know.
We could watch Dan all day. Thanks for another great video.
I want to cook with curry leaves now
I learned about curry leaf from a friend who lived in India for 22 years. It's a very easy to grow tree. Even if you live in a cold place you can grow it indoors in a pot. You can even eat the flesh of the seeds which I only learned recently. Wash and dry the leaves. Heat a little oil. "Pop" the leaves in the oil to release the flavors. Pour the curry leaf flavored oil over…what ever you want. Another way to use — make a chutney. And, yes, as many people have pointed out, the thumbnail photo is of kaffir lime leaf, not curry leaf.
What type of dish would they be added to?
хули тут нихера не понятно
I'VE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS.
THANK YOU !!!
Click bait
Don't eat them raw in any fashion, ie in a dip. A while ago a very serious outbreak of food poisoning at a summeter fete was traced back to raw curry leaves in a dip.
Thumbnail pic is wrong!
What about pandan leaf? What is that? I’ve seen it in many recipes but never at any stores.
What next? Is salt salty?
Thumbnail is kaffir lime leaves (old spoiled ones at that), someone screwed up.
Pop some curry leaves in the oil at the end of frying some chicken! Fan-flippin'-tastic flavor. (Look up Turmeric Chicken/Kunyit Chicken.. Malaysian fried chicken that uses curry leaves. So so good.)
Interesting. I didn't know these existed, less that they have so much potential. Thanks for sharing those tidbits with us! Are there any dishes they are usually a part of?
Picture on thumbnail is of kaffir lime leaves used in many SE Asian dishes
Eh? The leaf on thumbnail looks more like makrut lime leaves than kari patta?
As far as I know, makrut lime leaves are the ones to have 2 spades on 1 branch? Kari patta looks like thin spearheads?
Would someone please confirm?
Love to learn something new about an herb/spice.
