About the product

Ziółko Ground Fenugreek consists of ground fenugreek seeds (Trigonella foenum-graecum) – a legume widely used in Middle Eastern cuisine. Origin: India.

Its characteristic bitter, aromatic flavour reminds some people of a mixture of lovage and burnt sugar. Roasting in a dry frying pan brings out nutty notes and reduces the bitterness – a popular technique in Indian cuisine. Fenugreek is a key ingredient in curry blends; it is also found in Bengali panch poron, Yemeni salatah and Ethiopian berbere. In Indian cuisine, it features in vegetable and legume dishes; in North Africa, it is added to breads.

Suggested use

Toast for 30 seconds in a dry frying pan before adding to the dish – the aroma develops through toasting, and the bitterness is softened. Typical serving: 1/2 - 1 teaspoon per 4 servings of the dish. Pairs well with cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, garlic and onion. Use sparingly – intense aroma.
