How to chiffonade Kaffir lime leaves

I often like to garnish my dishes with finely cut kaffir lime leaves. The technique is known as a chiffonade and can also be applied to other herbs such as basil. This is achieved by taking a few lime leaves and stacking them on top of one another, rolling them up tightly and using a sharp knife to slice finely as in the picture.

This recipe is at its best when mangoes are at their best. Typically this will be from April to September for mangoes from Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent.  These are best found in Asian grocery shops, not as cheap as the supermarket varieties because they are picked at the height of ripeness and exported by air.
