Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between kasuri methi and fresh methi? Kasuri methi is dried fenugreek leaves with an intensely concentrated, more bitter and aromatic flavor compared to fresh methi. They are not interchangeable — kasuri methi is used as a finishing herb while fresh methi is cooked as a leafy vegetable.

Why does kasuri methi make food taste like a restaurant? Kasuri methi has a unique, bitter-warm aromatic compound (sotolon) that triggers recognition of “restaurant curry” flavor in most people — it is the single most effective finishing herb for replicating the restaurant Indian food experience at home.

Should I add kasuri methi at the start or end of cooking? Always add kasuri methi at the very end of cooking, crushing the leaves between your palms first to release the aromatic oils. Adding it too early destroys its fragrant volatile compounds.
