Whether you’re preparing a comforting curry, flavouring a coconut-based dish, infusing oil, or enhancing lentils and rice, Dried Curry Leaves are a must-have ingredient.

From Tree to Table – The Natural Way

Our Dried Curry Leaves come from carefully tended trees grown in clean, tropical environments known for producing high-quality, aromatic leaves. Once harvested, the leaves are gently washed and dried using traditional air-drying methods under shade — preserving their natural green colour, flavour, and nutritional content.

Unlike mass-produced alternatives that lose potency or are mixed with fillers, these leaves retain their authentic aroma and flavour. The result is a product that delivers pure, unadulterated taste — a true representation of traditional cooking heritage brought straight to New Zealand kitchens.
