*Curry leaves - edible gray-green leaves that resemble bay leaf, used in flavoring sambols and fish, vegetable, or meat curries.
The Sri Lankans use curry leaves fresh, but they can be used dried if fresh leaves are not available.
The Sinhalese term for the plant is 'karapincha', and if you can find them fresh, they add great depth and flavor to a dish.
They are not removed before serving, and they are edible.
There is no substitute for curry leaves.
