Curry Leaves Ice Cubes
Curry leaves, known for their distinctive aroma and robust flavour, are a staple ingredient in many Indian and Southeast Asian cuisines. These vibrant green leaves, often used fresh, add a unique depth and complexity to a variety of dishes, from curries and soups to chutneys and stir-fries. Rich in antioxidants and packed with essential nutrients, curry leaves not only enhance the taste of your meals but also offer numerous health benefits.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Tear off the curry leaves, then give them a rinse in a bowl of water. Add a few leaves to each cube of an ice cube tray (the amount depends on the size of the tray and the leaves, but I usually add 5-10 to each). Fill the cubes with water, pressing the leaves down to submerge them as much as possible, then freeze for up to 12 months
- Optional: You can remove the frozen cubes from the tray and store them in a container in the freezer to free up the tray.
- To use them, simply place the ice cubes in a bowl of warm water until entirely thawed (around 5 minutes). Then transfer to a clean kitchen towel, dry well and use as instructed.
