The restaurant secret ingredient.
Ask any Indian chef why a homemade curry can taste good but still not quite like the restaurant version. Very often, the missing ingredient is kasoori methi. These dried fenugreek leaves bring a warm, savoury aroma and a subtle, distinctive bitterness that rounds out rich sauces beautifully. Crush a small pinch between your palms and stir it in near the end of cooking. It is a small step that makes a very noticeable difference.
This is the full 1kg catering pack, not a little supermarket jar. It is ideal for frequent home cooks, larger households, caterers and restaurants that use kasoori methi properly rather than saving it for special occasions.

How to Use Kasoori Methi
Take a small pinch of leaves, rub them gently between your palms to release the aroma, then add them to your curry in the final 5 minutes. Do not put them in too early: kasoori methi is a finishing herb, and adding it late keeps its character clear and fragrant. Start small, taste, then add a little more if needed. A small amount goes a long way.
