Bay Leaves (30G)

Bay leaves are the quiet backbone of slow-cooked cooking — and these TRS bay leaves (tej patta) are a pantry staple for anyone cooking Indian, Mediterranean, or African-inspired dishes at home. Added to a simmering pot, bay leaves release a subtle, herbal, slightly floral aroma that lifts the background flavour of curries, dals, rice dishes, stews, and soups without ever drawing attention to themselves. What Are Bay Leaves (Tej Patta)? Bay leaves used in Indian cooking — called tej patta — come from the Cinnamomum tamala tree, also known as Indian bay leaf or Malabar leaf. They are distinct from the European bay laurel (Laurus nobilis) used in Western cooking, though both varieties are used in similar ways: added whole to infuse flavour during cooking and removed before serving. The Indian tej patta has a slightly more camphor-like, cinnamon-adjacent warmth, while the European variety is more herbal. TRS (The Real Spice Company) is a long-established South Asian spice brand with their bay leaves supplied as Indian bay leaf — tej patta — dried whole and packed to preserve their aromatic properties. Their 30g pack is a practical pantry size for regular home cooking.
