MDH Kasoori Methi dried fenugreek leaves in a 100 g box, for finishing butter chicken, curries, dals and paneer dishes, or mixing into paratha dough.
MDH Kasoori Methi comes in a bright yellow carton with the MDH name and the peacock emblem at the top. The product name is printed in large red and green letters above artwork of green fenugreek leaves, and a line on the front reads Hygienic, Flavourful and Tasty. The net weight of 3.5 oz (100 g) is printed at the base of the front panel. A lifestyle photo shows a chef sprinkling the dried leaves over a pan of butter chicken, and another places the box beside cinnamon sticks, green cardamom and cumin seeds on a kitchen counter. Commonly, kasoori methi is crushed between the palms and added near the end of cooking to give curries and gravies a bittersweet, savoury aroma. As general background, fenugreek is an annual plant in the family Fabaceae, which includes beans, peas and peanuts, and it is distinguished by its three small obovate to oblong leaflets. Commonly, a small pinch goes a long way in a pot of curry.
