Holy basil, also known as Tulsi, is an aromatic herb with a strong, clove-like scent and a characteristically slightly peppery taste with a hint of anise. It is indispensable in Thai cuisine and is often used in dishes such as Pad Krapow, curries, and spicy soups. The leaves are coarser than common basil and have a more robust flavor and texture. Rinse them lightly and pat dry, shred or roughly chop them, and add just before serving to preserve the delicate aroma — prolonged heat mutes the flavor. In addition to its culinary use, holy basil is also attributed health benefits, including boosting the immune system, reducing stress, and anti-inflammatory properties.
