About Dried Kari Leaf
Kari leaf grows on the Murraya koenigii tree, a staple in South Asian and Indian cooking. Fry leaves in hot oil or ghee (tadka) to release their scent in dals, sambars, and curries.
Dried leaf is easier to store than fresh. Use about two to three times the amount of dried vs fresh for a similar finish. Read our curry leaves guide for recipe ideas.
How to Use
Classic tadka in three steps.
Temper
Fry in hot oil or ghee 30–60 seconds until crisp and fragrant.
Build
Add onions, spices, or wet ingredients; the infused oil carries the aroma through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is kari leaf the same as curry powder?
No. Kari leaf is a whole herb from the curry leaf tree. Curry powder is a ground spice blend. They are used differently.
How do dried leaves compare to fresh?
Dried leaves store and ship easily. Use about two to three times the dried amount compared with fresh for a similar aroma.
What dishes work best?
Tadka for dal, sambar, rasam, lemon rice, potato curry, and coconut gravies: any recipe calling for curry leaf.
How should I store them?
Keep the pouch sealed in a cool cupboard away from the stove. Flavour stays strong six months or longer when stored airtight.
