Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh methi leaves instead of kasoori methi? Fresh and dried methi are interchangeable but not equivalent — fresh methi is more vegetal and bitter while kasoori methi’s drying process creates a more aromatic, nuanced flavor. Use 3x the amount of fresh methi to replace kasoori methi.

Why is it called Kasoori methi? Kasoori methi takes its name from the town of Kasur in Punjab (now Pakistan), historically famous for growing superior quality fenugreek. The name is now used for premium dried fenugreek leaves generally.

Is kasoori methi the same as fenugreek seeds? No — kasoori methi is the dried leaf of the fenugreek plant, with a completely different flavor and use than fenugreek seeds (methi dana), which are much more bitter and used as a base spice.
