Dried Fenugreek Leaves | Kasoori Methi | Popular Seasoning in Indian and Middle Eastern Cuisine | Great for Curries and Flatbreads 1 oz.
Fenugreek leaves - a popular seasoning in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine - provide a mild, herb-and-nut taste to a wide range of dishes. Fenugreek leaves are commonly used in curries and as a spice for flatbreads. A member of the pea family, Fenugreek leaves have a similar taste to crushed peas, yet with hints of herbal spice like fennel or celery flakes. You might try fenugreek leaves over a freshly baked flatbread, as a finishing spice for a soup or curry, or for a dash of flavor in mashed potatoes. This is a versatile herb with many culinary uses. Fenugreek leaves have a milder taste than the seeds from the same plant. Fenugreek seeds have a much stronger flavor - like fennel - and they're commonly used to spice meats or to add bursts of herbal nuttiness to curries and soups. The leaves, though, are prized for their subtle hints of pea, nut and herb. A pinch of crushed fenugreek leaves can be used during cooking, which allows the herbal taste to meld with other flavors, or as a finishing spice or garnish. The dried leaves work a lot like parsley flakes - both can be used to balance dishes or to build complex flavor in dry rub mixtures. A few of the most common uses include: Ground Leaves - Grinding the leaves into a powder is one of the most common preparations. Powdered fenugreek leaves are traditionally added to soups, in sauces and in curries in Middle Eastern cooking. Dry Rubs - Ground fenugreek leaf is a popular base for dry rubs. The leaves help to balance spicy, peppery flavors, with a similar leafy taste to celery flakes. Garnishes - Fenugreek is a common garnish for baked goods and flatbreads. Add a dash of dried leaves, as you finish baking breads for a punch of flavor and color. Our fenugreek leaves come from India.
