Is curry plant edible? I got a curry plant today at the garden centre after looking ages for a curry leaf plant, it was only when I got home I realised I had got the wrong plant. Curry leaf plant used for south Indian curries looks like bay leaves, the one I has silvery grey leaves like lavender and smells of curry. It was also sold in the herb section, but I wanted to make sure. :)

It is only the smell of curry which they impart to dishes, they do not add much taste.

Yes. There are several chefs here in the Valley of the Sun that use small amounts as seasoning in their signature dishes. Be aware, though, that a little bit goes a long way, even though it's not as fiery as real Madras curry!
