Are basil leaves same as curry leaves?
Hi Veggie Bun
Basil leaves is different from Curry leaves and Laksa Leaves. It is a bit difficult to get. It is used in Thai Green Curry.
The current price 50cents for a bundle, quite ok. Sheng Siong Supermarket sell it, Prime Supermarket @ Admirality, says it sell on Sunday only and some wet market sell them too.
Cheers
Can the basil leaves substitute normal basil powder ?
I didnt know it was sold here thanks!
Hi Dreamy
I have never try that, but i think so. The fresh herb should be even much better.
Cheers :)
