Fenugreek is known as Methi in India and has a slightly souring fragrant flavour. A key ingredient due to its versatility, fenugreek has many forms and is available in dried, ground and seed form. Fenugreek seeds are used both whole and in powdered form and are often roasted to reduce their bitterness and enhance their flavor. The seeds are used in the preparation of pickles, vegetable dishes, dals, and spice mixes, such as panch phoron and sambar powder
