An underused overgrown curry plant!
My curry plant seems to be getting bigger and bigger and I just don’t use it as I’m not sure what to do with it. A quick google tells me this plant does not produce the spice ‘curry’ and I am now wondering if it has any culinary uses. This summer it was covered in yellow flowers and I chopped them all off as I had some idea that it isn’t great to let herbs flower.
So I had a handful of curry flowers and an excessive amount of curry plant. I gave the plant a good chopping back as well.
Silver leaves, yellow flowers – why put them on the compost heap when you can display them in a vase? This was the result.
If anyone has any recipes to help me make better use of my curry plant, I would love to read them in the comments below!

Don't try to eat it! It's disgusting. It's just called curry plant because it smells of curry. You're right to chop it back – preferably after it's finished flowering; it'll revive next year.
Thanks for the tip Cary!
