Hi! I have been searching through your blog as well for T&C. I am excited to try something new and interesting. But I must ask, many of your recipes call for curry leaves - what is this? I know of curry powder and I understand that there are many kinds of curry powders with slightly different seasoning blends and levels of spice, but I have never heard of a curry leaf. Could curry powder be substituted in most recipes?
Hi Cara - wanted to respond about Curry Powder vs. Curry leaves. Its a bit detailed.
There is no Indian version of curry powder - its a concept of mixing several different Indian spices together. When one uses curry powder in Indian cooking, everything pretty much tastes the same. Whereas, in India, we use blends of different spices to make the food. We have no such thing as curry powder here!
Now the curry leaf is a seasoning that has nothing to do with curry powder. You cannot substitute it for curry powder, but you can omit it from recipes. It just contributes a mild flavor to the dish, which could easily be taken out. If you'd like to check it out, most Indian stores stock curry leaves. I've never seen them in the mainstream grocery stores. Sometimes, you could find a curry leaf powder in the Asian/International aisles of a natural foods store, maybe even a Whole Foods?

Thanks Lilandra - yes, it does definitely attack you! and yes, you can't eat it in its small taste, but you could let it mature and enjoy it! :)
