There is something unique about the aroma of curry leaves aka kadhi patta. Quite obviously, I love it 😉

Every few months, I dry bunches of these leaves, slightly roast it in a pan, grind it to a fine powder and store it in an airtight container for future use. For more shelf life, store in the refrigerator.
