Ground Fenugreek

Fenugreek seed powder has a bittersweet, curry-like character. It is different from dried fenugreek leaves, often called kasuri methi; a recipe calling for a handful of leaves cannot take the same volume of seed powder.

Curries, berbere-style blends, lentils, vegetables, breads and Indian-inspired cooking.

Start with a small pinch per cup of sauce, or about 1/8 teaspoon for four servings.

Cook gently in a moist sauce or briefly with warm fat; avoid a long dry fry.

Use this amount as a starting point for flavor, then adjust to your food and taste. If other ingredients bring salt, sweetness or heat, account for those before adding more seasoning.

Prepare 2 cups cooked lentils with sautéed onion and tomato. Stir in a small pinch of fenugreek and simmer gently for several minutes. Taste before adding more, then finish with lemon. Its bitterness should support the dish, not dominate it.
