(9,833 posts)I've never seen curry leaves anywhere. A couple of the ones who posted comments apparently could find them in Indian grocery stores which are sadly lacking in my community. Maybe I will try the recipe using the spices I have.

(35,685 posts)Now that you mention it, I think I'll grow it again this year. Will have to research to find the plant, though.
I have a bag of curry leaves in my frig right now, as the RG left me some. I want to preserve them in oil or something, since they're so hard to find.
