Kasuri Methi (Dried Fenugreek Leaves)

Kasuri Methi: the secret of creamy Indian curries

Kasuri Methi, or dried fenugreek, is one of the most prized herbs in North Indian cooking. These fenugreek leaves are naturally dried in the plains of Rajasthan, preserving their characteristic bitter, herbaceous flavour with subtle notes reminiscent of maple syrup. An essential ingredient in butter chicken and dal makhani, Kasuri Methi provides that finishing touch which transforms a simple curry into an authentic restaurant dish.

Why choose dried Kasuri Methi?

Dried Kasuri Methi is concentrated in aroma and keeps well, offering unmatched convenience compared to fresh leaves. It is used at the end of cooking, simply crushed between the palms to release its essential oils before being added to the dish. Its slightly bitter flavour balances the richness of creamy sauces and brings a unique herbaceous dimension impossible to replicate with other herbs.

Culinary uses:

• Butter chicken and tikka masala for the authentic finishing touch
• Naans and parathas for a herbaceous aroma in Indian breads
• Creamy curries (malai, makhani) to balance richness
• Aloo methi and sautéed vegetables for a distinct herbaceous flavour
• Sauces and gravies for an additional aromatic dimension
