Added by Annette. Last Edited by Annette

Name: Murraya koenigii

Other Names: Curry tree, Sweet Neem leaves., Karivepallai, Kadipatta

Description: The Curry Tree or Karivepallai or Kadipatta is a tropical to sub-tropical tree in the family Rutaceae, which is native to India. It produces the leaves known as Curry leaves or Sweet Neem leaves. It is a small tree, growing 4-6 m tall, with a trunk up to 40 cm diameter. The leaves are pinnate, with 11-21 leaflets, each leaflet 2-4 cm long and 1-2 cm broad. They are highly aromatic. The flowers are small white, and fragrant. The small black, shiny berries are edible, but their seeds are poisonous.The small and narrow leaves somewhat resemble the leaves of the Neem tree; therefore they are also referred to as Karuveppilai translated to Black Neem leaf in Tamil and Malayalam (Indian Dialect) Karu/Kari meaning black, ilai meaning leaves and veppilai meaning Neem leaf. In the Kannada language (Indian Dialect) it is known as Kari BEvu and Karivepaku in Telugu(Indian Dialect), again translating to the same meaning Black Neem leaf. The leaves are highly valued as seasoning in South Indian and Sri Lankan cooking, much like bay leaves and especially in curries with fish or coconut milk. In their fresh form, they have a short shelf life though they may be stored in a freezer for quite some time; however, this can result in a loss of their flavour. They are also available dried, though the aroma is much inferior. The leaves of Murraya koenigii are also used as a herb in Ayurvedic medicine. Their properties include much value as an antidiabetic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, anti-hypercholesterolemic etc.,
