Description
Tejpatta, also known as bay leaves, is a fragrant herb that is commonly used in cooking throughout the world. It is derived from the leaves of the bay laurel tree (Laurus nobilis), which is native to the Mediterranean region.
Tejpatta has a distinctive aroma and flavor, with a slightly bitter and spicy taste. It is often used as a seasoning in stews, soups, sauces, and marinades to add depth and complexity to dishes. It is also a key ingredient in many spice blends, such as garam masala and bouquet garni.
They should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture to preserve their flavor and potency. Tejpatta can be used whole or ground and should be used in moderation, as its flavor can be strong and overpowering if too much is used.
