The curry tree is a tropical tree native to India and Sri Lanka, and its fragrant leaves take their name from the dish they season. Lakpura Organic Curry Leaves Powder is made from those leaves, grown by organic farmers without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides, then dried and milled into a fine powder in small batches and packed in Sri Lanka. Grinding the leaves concentrates their aroma and makes them easy to stir straight into a pot, with no picking out of stalks afterwards.
100% organic certified by USDA Organic and Control Union. Two independent bodies have inspected the growing and processing behind this powder, which means the leaves are cultivated without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides and handled to organic standards from the farm through to the pack. You are buying curry leaves and nothing else.

Curry leaves are a seasoning staple in Sri Lankan and Indian cooking, and in the cuisines of neighbouring countries, and have long been valued in Sri Lankan kitchens and traditional households. Use the powder to flavour curries, pickles, soups and chutneys, stirring it in early so the aroma has time to spread through the dish, or adding a pinch at the end for a fresher, greener note. It works well alongside the other spices in a curry base rather than in place of them, and a small quantity carries a long way. Beyond the kitchen, curry leaves are also used in soap making, where the volatile oil serves as a fixative for soap perfume.
Lakpura works with organic growers across Sri Lanka to bring the island's spices to your kitchen in honest, simply made form.
