    I'm from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
    I bought a packet of fenugreek today and really wanted to learn more about it. Your explanation was clear and now I'm confident about using this in the future.🤗

    Greetings from New Zealand. On a whim, I decided to grow some Methi.I just sprinkled some seeds on top of tray of garden potting mix, and, Hey Presto! In 5 days it had germinated and was 1cm tall. I look forward to using it in my vegetable dishes from now on. I didn't know how to use fresh Methi. Your explanation of the herb was a real eye opener. Thank you very much.

    Thank you so much Nisha! I couldn't understand why the seeds were useful until you showed the key of heating them in oil to bring out flavour. They are so round that I thought they had been processed or something and didn't expect that they would germinate.
    However, as another commenter from NZ noted, they are ultra easy to germinate! I put boiling water on them and left them soaking overnight. Then drained them and kept them moist, changing the water daily, in about three days I had a whole jam jar full of methi seed sprouts.
    I haven't tried eating a methi seed sprout yet, but probs yummy on top of salads? Thank you!
    PS Oh, by the way, when in a hurry to get to work and not knowing what to take for lunch I have thrown rice in a microwave pot with dried fenugreek / methi leaves and a spoonful of peanut butter. Quick and easy. The dried methi is a bit chewy out of the microwave at work but everyone loves the wonderful aromatic scent. And, it tastes really good for a lunch that takes two minutes to throw together. Can't wait to try the same with fresh green methi, cross fingers in a few more days time! Come on methi shoots! Grow! Grow! Grow! :)

    i was amazed when i first ground up freshy dry roasted methy seeds, it's really a bold and unmistakable aroma. my most frequent use is with (also roast) coriander, szechuan pepper, and fresh ginger and bear garlic, to flavor a spinach curry with sour white cheese. (an incredibly flavorful condement! great on bread, rice, potatoes and with eggs)

    Oh, how I wish I had taken heed of your comments about the smell of dried fenugreek leaves!!! Bought some to 'enhance' a curry I made a couple of nights ago and I can still smell the damn stuff. Seems to have seeped into the fabric of the house! Only used a tiny amount! The rest is going in the bin!😃
