Mathania Kasuri Methi | Sun-Dried Fenugreek Leaves, Rajasthan

Mathania kasuri methi is dried fenugreek leaves from Mathania in Rajasthan, one of India's best-known fenugreek growing regions. The leaves are hand-picked and sun-dried naturally, with no additives. Buy kasuri methi online in a 50 g packet and finish your curries with one fragrant pinch.

Why buy our kasuri methi online

• A known growing region: the dry desert climate and sandy soil of Mathania produce leaves with concentrated essential oils and a deeper colour.
• Hand-picked and sun-dried: the leaves are picked by hand and dried naturally in the sun, which locks in their aroma.
• Nothing added: no additives and no artificial processing.
• An easy freshness test: crush a few leaves between your palms. Good leaves give a warm, earthy, slightly bitter smell at once. Stale ones crumble to dust with no fragrance.

How to use kasuri methi

Add it at the end of cooking. Crush the leaves between your palms first so the aroma comes out. That pinch adds a warm, slightly bitter aroma to the dish.

• Sprinkle into rich gravies and curries just before serving.
• Finish butter chicken, dal makhani, paneer dishes and rajma with a generous pinch.
• Work into paratha or naan dough for fragrant flatbreads.

Unlike methi dana, which is the seed, kasuri methi is the dried leaf. Some recipes need both. The leaves are strong, so start small and add more to taste. Crush the leaves between your palms for a quick kasuri methi powder.

Pack sizes and storage

Kasuri methi comes in a 50 g pack. A small pinch goes a long way, so one pack lasts many meals. Store it in an airtight container away from sunlight and moisture. Crush only what you need, just before you add it.

Pairs well with

Pair it with Jodhpur fenugreek seeds (methi dana) when your recipe calls for both the leaf and the seed. Add Jodhpur cumin seeds for the tadka. Explore our Rajasthan spice collection for more from this region.
