MDH Kasoori Methi 100g

MDH Kasoori Methi is dried fenugreek leaf, sold whole rather than ground, and it is a finishing herb rather than a masala. It carries a distinctive faint bitterness and a savoury aroma that is instantly recognisable in Punjabi restaurant cooking.

Best for

• Butter chicken, paneer makhani and other creamy gravies
• Dal makhani, rajma and methi malai matar
• Kneading into paratha and naan dough

Using it

Crush it between your palms over the pan so the leaves break up and the aroma releases, and add it in the last two minutes of cooking. Around a teaspoon of crushed leaf is enough for a dish serving four. It is potent, and too much turns a gravy bitter, so start small. In dough, work half a teaspoon into each cup of flour.
