What is Kasuri Methi in English?
Kasuri methi (also spelled kasoori methi) is dried fenugreek leaves in English. It's made by drying fresh fenugreek (methi) leaves until they turn a greenish-brown colour. The leaves have a slightly bitter taste and are commonly used in Indian cooking to add flavour to dishes like curries, naan bread, and butter chicken.
Different names for the same ingredient:
- Kasuri/Kasoori methi (Hindi)
- Dried fenugreek leaves (English)
- Methi leaves (simplified English)
- Dried methi leaves
The fresh plant is called fenugreek or methi, while "kasuri" refers specifically to the dried version of the leaves. The dried leaves are shelf-stable and more concentrated in flavour than fresh leaves. You can find authentic kasuri methi in our spice collection, and learn more about this essential ingredient in our detailed kasuri methi guide.
