CURRY LEAVES – KARAPINCHA

Curry Leaves, commonly known as Karapincha, are a popular aromatic ingredient in Sri Lankan and South Asian cooking. They provide a distinctive fragrance and flavour that can enhance a wide variety of traditional dishes. Fresh curry leaves are commonly used in curries, dhal, sambols, rice dishes, fried foods, and various savoury preparations.

Karapincha is especially popular for tempering, where the leaves are fried with ingredients such as onions, garlic, mustard seeds, and spices to release their rich aroma. They can also be added directly to curries and other dishes during cooking.
