How is everyone in the community? I wish everyone well. I haven't had any contact with you for a long time, so I tried to communicate a little bit and sat down to write about something new. Today I will introduce a plant to you, Which we know as the curry plant.

We Bangladeshis are not so familiar with this tree but it is very popular all over India, especially in South India. It is called curry leaf and the leaves of the curry plant are used for cooking. This tree is also called sweet neem but this tree has nothing in common with the neem tree.
