National Kasuri Methi (Dried Fenugreek Leaves) 100g – Aromatic Finishing Herb

Description

The Fragrant Secret of North Indian Cuisine: National Kasuri Methi

Unlock the authentic, deeply aromatic, and slightly bittersweet flavor that defines many beloved North Indian and Pakistani dishes with National Kasuri Methi (Dried Fenugreek Leaves) 100g, available at Ideal Indiska in Stockholm. “Kasuri Methi” refers to dried leaves of the fenugreek plant, carefully processed to preserve their unique fragrance and taste, which is more potent and distinct than fresh fenugreek.

What is Kasuri Methi?
Kasuri Methi gets its name from Kasur, a region in Pakistan known for producing high-quality fenugreek. The leaves are dried, which concentrates their characteristic aroma – a complex blend of savory, slightly bitter, and earthy notes, often compared to celery or maple, but uniquely its own. It’s typically used as a finishing herb.
