A bag of fresh curry leaves, kadi patta or karuveppilai, picked off the stalks and ready to drop into hot oil. They smell sharp and citrus when crushed and turn nutty once they hit the pan. South Indian and Sri Lankan cooks use them in almost every tempering, from sambar and rasam to coconut chutney, upma, lemon rice and fish curry.
How to use it
Wash the leaves you need and pat them completely dry, as wet leaves spit hard in hot oil. Heat oil or ghee, add mustard seeds, and when they pop add a handful of curry leaves with dried chilli and urad dal; they crisp within seconds. Pour this over dal, sambar or a chutney. Fry a few leaves until brittle to crumble over thoran, poriyal or a bowl of rice.
