     @rebelwarrior screwpine leaves. Has a vague flavor of vanilla but grassy and better to me

     @skinnylatte Snap. My grandmother was half-Indonesian and I learned to cook with her. Galangal and cumin brings it home to me.

     @greycat if you ever get whole turmeric, bury it in pot of soil and wait until they grow leaves too. Use turmeric leaves alongside curry leaves. Delicious

     @skinnylatte hmm… mine are boring a.f. by comparison: potatoes, venison, basic baked goods (bread, rolls, kuchen).

     Sean Sherman (siouxchef) is not wrong about white folks having 1001 international flavors but virtually nothing native to where we’re living.

     1. Curry leaves

     A really easy way to use them is to make these Tamil Nadu street style masala omelette

     Next time you order Indian takeout, leave a tiny bit of gravy from any dish.

     Mix it with your eggs and beat it well.

     Add curry leaves to some oil and warm it up together then scramble normally

     Curry leaves and eggs are a flavorful combination I’m obsessed with

     2. Turmeric

     I love turmeric rice. Not only is it delicious it is also beautiful

     Turmeric fried chicken is also a thing. And if you have a whole turmeric, try burying it in the soil and waiting for turmeric leaves to grow and then using them to make any type of curry. It has a delicious fragrance you can’t get in anything store bought

     @LeafyEricScott i love madhur jaffrey, but curry leaves are prevalent more across south indian cooking, which i personally prefer (especially chettinad and kongunadu style food)

     https://www.kannammacooks.com/category/recipes/kongunad-recipes/

     is my fave

     @skinnylatte I'm going to have to try this because I love curry leaves, but only have one recipe that uses them (besides tadka dal). A Madhur Jaffrey recipe for peas and coconut: https://www.food.com/amp/recipe/amazing-peas-indian-96944

     @skinnylatte

     First three are very common/household items in Indian cooking (I'm from Maharashtra/Western India. Near Mumbai)

     1. We put curry leaves and turmeric powder in EVERY meal we cook (tadka : warm the oil then add these two, plus mustard seeds and cumin seeds)

     2. Children have warm turmeric milk in the morning (especially in winters)

     3. Adults have Lemongrass tea

     4. Never heard of Pandan
