Fenugreek seeds, or methi seeds, are often used as a flavor enhancer, especially in Indian cuisine. Though fenugreek seeds have many culinary uses, we recommend roasting dry fenugreek seeds for a sweeter, aromatic fenugreek flavor in your favorite dishes.
Fenugreek's flavor profile is sweet yet bitter, with a hint of maple. Fenugreek flavor pairs well with cardamom, cloves, cumin, fennel, and turmeric.
Add dry fenugreek seeds to curry, bread, and chutney. Season vegetables and pot roasts with fenugreek spice. Use caution until you become familiar with fenugreek seeds, as too much can make a dish bitter.
