Do you mean laurel?
Laurel, also known as Bay or bay leaf, is the leaf of the bay laurel tree. Do not confuse this with other laurels, such as mountain laurel, which may be poisonous.
Substitution wise you can try other leafy herbs, maybe thyme, in your recipe though I am unaware of any that taste exactly like bay. Various myrtle leaves are often confused with bay laurel, such as oregon myrtle, and may taste similarly.
Indian bay leaves are cinnamon like and very similar to acacia bark (cinnamon).

It is "bay leaf"... in broader sense YES it is called bay leaf, But real TEJ-PAATA in Indian means a particular variety. Note the following found in wikipedia: Indian bay leaf" (also tej pat, tejpat, tejpata तेजपत्ता or Tamalpatra तमालपत्र or Biryani aaku or Bagaara aaku or Palav aaku in Telugu or Punnai ilai in Tamil) In appearance, the leaf of the malabatrum tree is similar to the other bay leaves, but is culinarily quite different, having a fragrance and taste similar to Cinnamomum_aromaticum bark, but milder. In culinary terms, it is misleading to call it bay leaf because it is of a different genus from the bay laurel tree, does not taste the same as the bay laurel leaf, and cannot be used in cooking as a substitute for the bay laurel leaf.Thanks

Bay leaves come from the bay laurel tree (Laurus nobilis), sometimes called "sweet bay" which is a semi-tropical tree. Hardy to zones 8-10. If will not survive if the temperatures drop below 5 degrees Fahrenheit. It grows best in rich, moist, well drained soil, in full sun but protected from wind.
If you live in an area where it can grow outdoors you could try to germinate the plant from SEED, leaves will not germinate, nor for that matter, will the seeds if you allow them to dry out.
You may also propagate this plant using stem cutting or layering techniques.
I have not found a source for bay laurel seeds in North America, but most good nurseries (particularly those specialising in herbs) will usually carry the seedlings.
If you do not live in zones 8-10 the bay laurel is an excellent house plant if kept well attended. See growing conditions above.
See the related links below for more information on growing and using bay laurel.
