Curry is a dish originating in the cuisine of the Indian subcontinent. The common feature is the use of complex combinations of spices or herbs, usually including fresh or dried hot chilies. The use of the term is generally limited to dishes prepared in a sauce. Curry dishes prepared in the southern states of India may be spiced with leaves from the curry tree. There are many varieties of dishes called 'curries'. Traditionally, spices are used both whole and ground; cooked or raw; and they may be added at different times during the cooking process to produce different results. Dishes called 'curry' may contain fish, meat, poultry, or shellfish, either alone or in combination with vegetables. Additionally, many instead are entirely vegetarian, eaten especially among those who hold ethical or religious proscriptions against eating meat or seafood. Curries may be either 'dry' or 'wet'. Dry curries are cooked with very little liquid which is allowed to evaporate, leaving the other ingredients coated with the spice mixture. Wet curries contain significant amounts of sauce or gravy based on yoghurt, cream, coconut milk, coconut cream etc.

Curry leaves are highly valued as seasoning in southern and west-coast Indian cuisine, and Sri Lankan cuisines, especially in curries, usually fried along with the chopped onion in the first stage of the preparation. Curry leaves are available in abundance in South India. Whenever we go to the vegetable shop, the vendor adds a handful of curry leaf stalks to our purchase free of cost. In towns and villages, almost all houses have a curry leaf tree in their backyard. Curry leaves are added to all South Indian dishes while seasoning. Normally when eating, most of us pick them and keep them aside. If you know the number of nutrients packed in these leaves, you will probably never throw it. In their fresh form, they have a short shelf life and do not keep well in the refrigerator. They are also available dried, though the aroma is largely inferior. Leaves can also be harvested from home-raised plants as it is also easily grown in warmer areas of the world, or in containers where the climate is not supportive outdoors. They are also used to make thoranvada, rasam and kadhi, there are also quite a few recipes where the curry leaf is the star ingredient like the curry leaf rice, curry leaf chutney, curry leaf powder, curry leaf kuzhambu etc.
