Dehydrated curry leaves are dried leaves from the curry tree (Murraya koenigii). Here’s an overview of their characteristics and potential uses:
Texture: Dehydrated curry leaves typically have a dry and brittle texture after the dehydration process. They may crumble easily when handled.
Color: The color of dehydrated curry leaves can vary but often ranges from dark green to brown. The color change is a result of the drying process.
Flavor: Dehydrated curry leaves retain much of their characteristic flavor, which is often described as citrusy, nutty, and slightly bitter. The drying process can intensify their flavor.
Aroma: When rehydrated or used in cooking, dehydrated curry leaves release a strong and aromatic fragrance, enhancing the overall flavor profile of dishes.
