Fresh Fenugreek Leaves
Dried Fenugreek Leaves, known as Kasoori Methi in Hindi, are prepared by drying fresh Fenugreek Leaves. They are a secret ingredient used by chefs to to blow the flavor of any recipe off the charts. Dried Fenugreek Leaves are actually bitter to taste, but their taste transforms into a subtle bitter-sweetness when added to sauces and dishes. Although they have undertones of Celery and Fennel seeds, those spices are not a substitute for the flavor of Dried Fenugreek Leaves. Kasoori Methi has a unique flavor that does not have a substitute.
Dried Fenugreek Leaves are crushed when added to a recipe. To make them easy to crush, they can be lightly toasted in a pan on low heat to remove any moisture. Once cooled, they can be easily crushed to a fine powder with your fingers.
