Methi (Fenugreek)

Methi (often referred to as Fenugreek) is an incredibly versatile herb used in both cooking and traditional wellness practices. Depending on how you plan to use it, it generally comes in three different forms: Methi Seeds (Methi Dana): Small, amber-coloured, hard seeds with a pungent, slightly bitter flavor. They are usually dry-roasted or tempered in hot oil to add depth to dals, curries, and pickles. Fresh Methi Leaves: Deep green, leafy vegetables used extensively in Indian cuisine. They are the star ingredient in dishes like Methi Thepla, Aloo Methi, and Methi Malai Mattar. Kasuri Methi: Dried fenugreek leaves with a concentrated, sweet-bitter aroma. Crushing a small handful over a curry just before serving instantly elevates its restaurant-style flavor.
