Yes, sage is an herb, but when it's powdered, I think of it more like a
spice. And curry leaves (a.k.a. kerala) differ from curry powder: Curry
powder, as you note, is a spice mixture, but curry leaves are the leaves
from a specific tree -- and those leaves are rarely used in curry powder.
They're a fairly standard ingredient in the cooking of southern India.
