Note from Chef Andrea: Fresh curry leaves may not be readily available, but that’s not a reason to forego making this recipe! At the very least, forego the curry leaves or any substitute and this dish will still have a lot of flavor. That being said, some food co-ops or grocery stores may have dried curry leaves available in the bulk spice/herb section. I have purchased them at the Wedge Co-Op in Minneapolis before. If you can’t find fresh leaves, substitute half the amount called for in the recipe with dried curry leaves. Curry leaves impart a citrusy flavor, so if you can’t find fresh or dried curry leaves you can also just use some fresh lemon or lime zest to add a little brightness to the dish. If using fresh zest, I recommend adding it at the end of cooking for the best flavor.
