Fresh Haldi Leaves (Turmeric Leaves)

Welcome to Siya Agri Exports LLP, your connection to the aromatic traditions of the Konkan coast. We supply fresh Haldi Leaves (Turmeric Leaves), a seasonal treasure that is indispensable for authentic Maharashtrian, Goan, and Mangalorean cuisine and rituals.

While the world knows the turmeric root, the Fresh Leaf is the secret ingredient for connoisseurs. When steamed, these leaves release a unique, sweet-herbal fragrance that infuses into rice dumplings, creating a flavour that cannot be replicated by any artificial essence. We source these delicate leaves directly from organic farms in Maharashtra and Karnataka, ensuring they are harvested at the tender stage for maximum aroma and pliability.

Why Choose Siya Agri Exports for Haldi Leaves?

The "Patholi" Aroma

The Test: The value of the leaf is in its smell. A good Haldi leaf should fill the kitchen with aroma when steamed.

Our Selection: We select the "Desi" variety (local strain), which has a much stronger fragrance compared to the high-yield hybrid varieties which often lack scent.

Spotless Green Quality

Pooja Purity: For Gauri Pooja and Hartalika, the leaves are offered to the Goddess. They must be pristine. We hand-sort every leaf to ensure there are no black spots, insect holes, or torn edges, making them perfect for ritual use.

Applications & Uses

Patholi / Kadabu: The most famous dish. Rice batter and coconut-jaggery filling are wrapped in the leaf and steamed. The leaf is discarded after cooking, but its flavor remains in the sweet.

Gauri Ganpati Pooja: Essential for the worship of Goddess Gauri during the Ganesh festival.

Fish Steaming: Used in Goan cuisine to wrap fish (Patoleo) before steaming, imparting a subtle herbal note to the seafood.

Logistics & Packaging

Moisture Control: These leaves dry out quickly. We pack them with moisture-retaining liners (but not wet, to avoid rot) to keep them turgid and fresh during the flight to London, Dubai, or New Jersey.

Air Cargo Only: This is a strictly seasonal, air-cargo product.
