Kadi patta or curry leaf is a staple in Indian dishes. There is more to the humble curry leaf than simply flavour. Curry leaves are packed with carbohydrates, fibre, calcium, phosphorous, iron, magnesium, copper, minerals and vitamins like nicotinic acid, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin E, antioxidants, plant sterols, amino acids, glycosides and flavonoids.

Curry leaves help your heart function better, fights infections and can enliven your hair and skin with vitality. They aid digestion, rid the body off toxic waste (Ama) and are mildly laxative.
