Fenugreek

Fenugreek plants have been used for centuries. The seed’s aroma is slightly tangy, sharp and evokes raw peas. When the seeds are lightly roasted (over-roasting tends to make them bitter) they become nutty and a little like burnt sugar. Fenugreek is found in curry mixtures.

Ingredients: fenugreek seed

Uses: Fresh and dried fenugreek can be used to finish dishes like sauces, curries, vegetable dishes, and soups. Fenugreek seeds can be used  in spice blends such as garam masala, panch phoran (Indian five-spice), or dry rubs for meat.
