A-1 Kasoori Methi dried fenugreek leaves in a 50 g box, for finishing butter chicken, curries, dals and paneer dishes, and for paratha dough.
A-1 Kasoori Methi comes in a bright green box with a New Pack flash in the top corner. A smiling chef in a white hat and jacket makes an OK sign on the front, beside a purple diamond with the A-1 name and the words Kasoori Methi, Dried Fenugreek Leaves. The lower half of the box is covered with a photo of fresh green fenugreek leaves and stems, and the net weight is printed as 50 g (1.75 oz). Lifestyle photos show the dried leaves scattered over a bowl of chicken curry, and a wooden spice rack of glass jars beside a small bowl of crushed methi, cinnamon sticks and green cardamom. Commonly, kasoori methi is crushed between the palms and added near the end of cooking to give curries and gravies a bittersweet, savoury aroma, and a small pinch is enough for a pot. As general background, fenugreek is commonly described as an annual plant of the bean, pea and peanut family Fabaceae, recognised by its three small obovate to oblong leaflets.
