Tej pata, also known as Indian bay leaf, is a common spice used in Indian cuisine. It is a dried leaf from the bay laurel tree and has a slightly stronger and more pungent flavor than the Mediterranean bay leaf.
In Indian cuisine, tej pata is used in a variety of dishes to add flavor and aroma. It is commonly used in the preparation of biryani, pulao, and other rice dishes, as well as in curries, stews, and lentil dishes. It is also used in spice blends like garam masala and in chutneys and pickles.
Tej pata is added early in the cooking process, as it needs time to infuse its flavor into the dish. It can be used either whole or ground into a powder, and is usually removed before serving as it can be tough and chewy.
In addition to its culinary uses, tej pata is also used in Ayurvedic medicine for its medicinal properties, which include aiding digestion and promoting respiratory health.
