As children, most of us would have picked up the curry leaves from any dish, and kept it aside to be discarded as waste.
Some of us learnt to eat it as we grew up. Some still have not.
It is therefore the most ignored of condiments!
Curry Leaves is almost ubiquitous in Indian cuisine, particularly in the South.
A typical tadka or tempering in Indian cuisine involves throwing in some curry leaves.
Some of us have them growing in the backyard, so it means stepping out into the yard, before tempering.
Most of us living in cities will buy a handful for 10-20 rupees from the vegetable vendor or she will graciously throw them in there along with your large purchase order.
But the nutritional benefits are aplenty!
Being almost a green, it is very low on calories and adds fibre to your meal.
They are known to be an excellent source of natural calcium, hence particularly beneficial for women to prevent osteoporosis!
The minerals in the leaves help with sugar management, digestion and more.
Sadly, it is one of the most chemicalized of greens.
