About Agathi leaves
Agathi leaves are the edible leaves of the sesbania tree, commonly identified as Sesbania grandiflora. They are cooked as a leafy vegetable, often simmered or incorporated into curries and other savoury preparations. The ingredient refers to the leaves, rather than the plant's flowers or pods.
The leaves are small, tender leaflets with a green, leafy taste that can be somewhat bitter. They are generally used fresh, though dried leaves may also be available. Cooking softens their texture and alters their flavour; recipes and local names vary across regions where the tree is cultivated.
