Substitute:
The best substitutes are cinnamon leaves or fresh cardamom leaves, but these are also not easy to come by. Some prefer the South American boldo leaves: although their flavour is rather different, it is at least strong enough for the highly spiced Moghul foods. Easier and still satisfactory substitutes are a small piece of cinnamon bark or a dried allspice berry.Adultrants:
Since Indian bay leaves were hardly available in the West bevor the turn of the millennium, most older books encourage the use of laurel (the Mediterranean bay leaf) instead. Though looking similar, the taste is very different, and also weaker.Commercial value:
Dried leaves are used as flavoring agent
The leaves have medicinal properties
The bark is also sometimes used for cooking
Could be used as an adjunct therapy in diabetes
