Description

Cassia leaves are similar in appearance to bay leaves but are usually much bigger and have 3 veins running the length of the leaf rather than the 1 on bay leaves. They also taste completely different to bay leaves with a cinnamon and clove flavour. Cassia leaves are used to infuse and flavour rice, curries and also sweet dishes. Don’t substitute cassia leaves with bay leaves, instead use a small amount of cinnamon or cassia bark.

Remove the cassia leaves before serving.

Don’t confuse with Bay Leaves

When an Indian recipe calls for “Bay Leaves” it is more often than not actually Tej Pata that is needed. The taste of Tej Peta is COMPLETELY different to the Bay Leaves we use in UK dishes. Tej Pata has a stronger and more complex flavour, with notes of cinnamon, clove, and cardamom.
