At the Indian Market : Wow....fenugreek leaves! I've never cooked with those before. 🤔

Internal debate ensued on whether to purchase them, knowing the rabbit hole of fenugreek recipes and blog posts would likely divert me from my lengthy "to do" list 😢

Fate intervenes and I bump into a Rajasthani woman who shares recipe ideas....join me on my rabbit hole of fenugreek recipes over the next couple weeks 😂 🙌

A little about Fenugreek:

Fenugreek also called Methi (Hindi) or Methika (Sanskrit)

Has been used for centuries in many cultures for culinary and medicinal purposes. (My Persian cookbooks are filled with recipes containing fenugreek.)

It has a distinct pungent and bitter taste with light, oily and heating properties.

It's a great herb for pacifying Vata and Kapha imbalances.

It kindles agni, improves digestion, relieves bloating and is a mild laxative.

Medicinally, Fenugreek seeds are useful in balancing blood sugar levels, lowering cholesterol, promoting milk flow in postpartum moms and much more.

Do you have a favorite fenugreek recipe?
