Bright, citrusy and deeply aromatic, Kaffir lime leaves bring the essence of Southeast Asian cooking straight to your kitchen. Their vibrant fragrance and unique citrus taste elevate curries, soups and stir-fries with an unmistakable zing.
A staple in Thai, Indonesian and Malaysian cuisine, kaffir lime leaves are valued for their ability to add a bold, fresh citrus note that can’t be replicated by ordinary lime. Unlike other herbs, they are not usually eaten whole but infused into dishes for their fragrance and flavour. They are wonderfully convenient to keep in your store cupboard, ensuring you can add an authentic touch to everyday meals or weekend feasts alike.
Here are ten modern and authentic ways to use them:
Infuse in Thai green curry for that classic citrus lift.
Simmer in a fragrant Tom Yum soup with prawns and lemongrass.
Add to coconut milk for a creamy, zesty sauce.
Finely shred into stir-fried vegetables for a burst of aroma.
Pair with ginger and chilli in Southeast Asian broths.
Use in marinades for fish or chicken to add brightness.
Blend into homemade curry pastes for depth and authenticity.
Crush and steep in syrups for cocktails or mocktails.
Add to rice while cooking for a subtle, perfumed flavour.
Combine with galangal and lemongrass in classic Thai spice mixes.
Extra product tips
Tear the leaves slightly before adding them to a dish to release their essential oils. For pastes or sauces, remove the central vein and finely shred the leaves for easy blending.
“I always keep a pack in my cupboard, they last ages and add so much flavour.”
“Brilliant in soups, I love the citrusy aroma they give off while cooking.”
“Once you try these, there’s no going back to ordinary lime zest.”

Loved by Thai cuisine enthusiasts, curry makers, and home cooks who enjoy citrusy, fragrant depth.
These smell incredible – bright, zesty and really fresh. I use them in Thai curries and soups, and they add a lovely authentic citrusy note.
