About Fenugreek (Methi)

Fenugreek (methi) is an essential herb in Indian, Ethiopian, and Middle Eastern cooking — the fresh leaves (methi saag) are used in dals, curries, and flatbreads, while the seeds are a key spice. One of the easiest herbs to grow on a windowsill.

Direct sow densely and harvest like a cut-and-come-again green. Leaves at 20-25 days are mild; older leaves become more bitter (which is desired for many recipes). For seeds, let plants flower and mature — harvest pods when golden brown. Grows indoors easily in a sunny window.
