About

As with almost every delicacy, Methi (Fenugreek) Murgh tastes best with fresh fenugreek. The world’s finest fenugreek comes from Qasur, in Pakistan. Dried fenugreek powder is now, in tribute, referred to as Kasoori Methi or fenugreek from Qasur. The ‘spice’—is an adequate replacement for the fresh vegetable.
