Indian Bay Leaf (Tej patta, Pulav leaves)

Description

HIstory: 

Indian bay–leaves are the leaves of a tree closely related to Cinnamon. The tough, three-veined leaves are very popular in Northern India, but are little known elsewhere — at least, today. They were well known to the Romans under the name malobathrum (also spelt malabathrum) and used both for perfumery and in cooking.
