Fenugreek Leaves ( Methi )

Fenugreek, also known as Methi, is a small herbaceous plant in the legume family. Its leaves are widely used in South Asian cuisine, especially in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. They have a distinctive, slightly bitter flavor that adds a unique aroma to dishes.

Fenugreek leaves can be added to many dishes, such as curry, rice dishes, vegetables, meats, fish and even cheeses and cold cuts. Their use is not limited to seasoning - they can also be used as an ingredient in many dishes, giving them an interesting, full flavor. They work great in both meat and vegetarian dishes, enriching them with a hint of bitterness and freshness.

In addition to the leaves, powdered fenugreek seeds are also very popular, and are a common spice in South Asian cuisine. They can be found in many curry mixes, and are also used to marinate meats and make sauces.
