The kaffir lime . . 

Lime leaf, also known as 'kaffir lime leaf', is a key ingredient in Thai cooking as well as other Southeast-Asian cuisines.
The rind of the kaffir lime is commonly used in Lao and Thai curry paste, adding an aromatic, astringent flavor.
The zest of the fruit is also used in cooking.
The kaffir lime tree is native to Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and other parts of south Asia.
The Lime leaves can be added whole to Thai curries, soups, and stir-fries.
They can also be cut up into very thin slivers and added to spice pastes or used as a topping for many dishes.
