Methi (fenugreek): leaves, sprouts and seeds in everyday cookingFenugreek shows up in Indian kitchens as fresh leaves, dried kasuri methi, sprouts and seeds. It's rich in fibre and traditionally used for digestion, joint stiffness, blood-sugar balance and to support breast milk. Here's how to bring it into meals beyond the morning seed water.
