Fenugreek leaves
Methi
0.8 g1 teaspoon
2.4 g1 tablespoon
100 g1 bunch (about 100 g)
Fresh methi bunch about 100 g; chopped leaves about 0.8 g per tsp.
Instead of Fenugreek leaves
Nothing truly replaces fresh methi's bitter-sweet aroma; dried methi is the closest.
Dried fenugreek leafUse 10% of the fresh weight, rub between the palms or soak in warm water for 5 minutes. More hay-like and less fresh-bitter; add near the end.
SpinachUse the same weight, chop and wilt. Gives leafy body but none of methi's bitter aroma; adjust salt and add a pinch of sugar.
Fenugreek shootsUse the same weight, chop finely and discard any tough stems. Milder and more tender; cook 2–3 minutes less.
