Dried Fenugreek Leaves, known as Kasoori Methi, are a powerful finishing ingredient in Indian cooking. Made by drying fresh fenugreek leaves, they add a distinctive bitter-sweet, savory aroma that elevates curries, dals, and vegetable dishes. Used sparingly and crushed before adding, Kasoori Methi brings depth and a signature “restaurant-style” flavor that has no true substitute.

Ingredients

▢ 1 cup Dried Fenugreek Leaves kasoori methi

Method

Heat a dry pan over low heat (no oil).
Add the dried fenugreek leaves in a thin layer.
Stir constantly for 20 to 40 seconds, just until fragrant.

When toasting Fenugreek leaves the goal is aroma, not color. If the leaves darken noticeably, they’ve gone too far.

Remove immediately from the pan and transfer to a plate to cool.
Once cooled, crush between your fingers or palms before using.
