Bay leaf is used for seasoning only. It does not soften after cooking, and is inedible.
Bay Leaf comes from a Laurel Tree.
Typically, one whole bay leaf is equivalent to about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of crushed bay leaf. The exact amount can vary depending on the potency of the bay leaf and personal preference for flavor intensity. It's best to start with a smaller quantity and adjust according to taste.

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

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).
