curry leaves

Curry leaves are a must in Indian kitchen. We use them in making curries, chutney, fries etc! The aroma of stir frying the curry leaves will definitely increase the appetite!

The big curry leave plant is the mother plant. It has produce many little plants around this area. All of them are welcomed to the garden!

I have problem with curry plant whereby the leaves are easily get attacked by black small caterpillar and rust leaves too.

Any idea how to eliminate rust on the leaves?

curry leave - not well

My curry leave plants have been growing so well until last month.

All of sudden it shows some unwanted sign. I'm not sure what cause it . All the baby plants show the same sign too.

Previously they were attacked by caterpillar. But This small caterpillar comes on and off.... I trim down the plant to remove the pest.

Is is a kind of infection or did I over fertilize and they get burn? I'm not so sure. Anyone out there to guide?

Curry leaves

The curry leave plants are always infested by some type of caterpillars. I use to chop the whole tree down to dispose the pest. The young shots appears after a while.














I always use them in my curries. They smell good once it's dropped in hot oil!

















It's believed to have property to boost memory power. This is what I really need now! 

Daun kari update and It's festival season here!

My daun kari ( curry leaves) have grown so tall. The leaves are getting smaller and I think it's time to trim them down before they become leggy..... So yesterday I chop them down! I forgot to take the chopped plant photo!

Curry leaves

Curry leave plants or "karuapolei" in tamil seems to be growing well. But the bottom leaves have many black marks or dots. It seems like some kind of attack. Have you face this kind of problem before? How shall we overcome this problem?

Reaching The height!

One of the plant in my garden that i realize grows slowly and steadily is Curry leaf. I pluck some of the leaves for my curries. Once in a while my neighbours will asked some. Strange looking caterpillars eat some...... But the plant continue to grow regardless of all the plucking and eating section!

The ground is covered with Mint. Both are living harmoniously!

It's time of the year that i become busy again for Deepavali. It's raining heavily too here everyday. I let my plants to survive on their own. I don't water them too since it's raining! hahhahaha....Hope not much damage done.

To all Hindu bloggers who are celebrating Deepavali, I wish you all HAPPY DEEPAVALI and to the rest HAPPY HOLIDAY! Hope everyone have wonderful moment with your beloved family!

Curry leaves

On my mind today!

There are many benefits of curry leaves. Some are below:

•Mix lime juice, honey or sugar crystals to the juice of curry leaf and drink it. This prevents nausea and dry vomiting.

•For Hair: Heat oil and add some curry leaves. When the curry leaves turns dark black remove the oil from heat and let it cool down. Store in a glass container. Apply this oil on your head and leave it overnight. This helps prevent premature aging of grey hair and also nourishes the hair roots. This oil also acts as a very good stimulant and helps in hair growth.

•Mix curry leaf with finely chopped ginger. Mix it with rice and take it early in the morning instead of water which will reduce dizziness, stomach disorders and constipation.

Besides curry leaves also reduce the colesterol and used in reducing sugar level in diabetic patients. Just take 8-10 fresh leaves daily first thing in the morning

 

Daun Kari getting more and more taller..

Daun kari plant have grown up so much now. More branches and more leaves! Every time i shake the plant, nice aromatic smell linger in the air!

I still remember when i first planted this plant. It was so tiny that i never pluck a single leaves but now my curry will never miss their leaves!

Daun kari have grown taller!

My curry leave has grown taller ! The leaves looks so healthy! A month ago some kind of caterpillars ( look like miniature 'taugeh' ) infested the plant but luckily i manage to save the plants!  Now it is lush and green!

Curry plant

I have a small curry leaf plant. It's growing very slowly. I guess the baby plant is struggling to survive in between mint and chilies! I should trim my mint.



The young leaves

I'm a bit busy with Deepavali preparation. My plants are left alone to survive. I just do watering alone! Hope the weeds and pest don't do much trouble to them!

Anyway Happy Deepavali to all Hindu garden bloggers and to the rest Happy Holiday! Hope all of you will have wonderful moment with your family!
