The Role of Bay Leaves (Tej Patta) in Cooking.
Bay leaves play an important role in building a well-rounded taste profile in many dishes.

• Subtle & Complex Aroma: TRS Bay Leaves provide a characteristic fragrance that is slightly sweet, herbal, and sometimes with hints of pine or clove (depending on the specific type: European Bay or Indian Tej Patta).

• Enhances Savory Dishes: They add a foundational layer of aroma and a subtle savory depth to rice dishes, curries, soups, and stews.

• Essential for Slow Cooking: Their flavor is released gradually during slow cooking, making them perfect for dishes that simmer for extended periods.

• Key Component in Whole Spices (Khada Masala): Often used as part of a whole spice mix that is added to hot oil at the beginning of cooking Indian dishes.

• Versatile Across Cuisines: A staple in Indian (biryani, pulao, korma), Mediterranean, French (bouquet garni), Caribbean, and many other global cuisines.

• Quality Assured by TRS: TRS offers quality dried bay leaves, ensuring good aroma and integrity.

Culinary Uses for TRS Bay Leaves.

• Rice Dishes: Add one or two bay leaves to biryanis, pulaos, or even plain steamed rice while cooking for an aromatic infusion.

• Curries & Kormas: A fundamental ingredient in many rich Indian and Pakistani curries and kormas.

• Dals (Lentils): Used in tempering (tadka) or added directly to simmering lentil dishes.

• Soups, Stews & Stocks: Imparts a savory depth to homemade broths and slow-cooked stews.

• Marinades & Brines: Can be added to marinades for meat or brines for pickling.

Tips for Using Bay Leaves.

• Bay leaves are typically used whole and removed from the dish before serving, as they remain tough even after cooking.

• Crumbling a bay leaf slightly before adding it can help release more of its aroma.
