Please clarify!
In your first sentence you say: "I bought fresh methi..it gives an amazing flavor when cooked."

In your last sentence you say: "Fresh, it didnt give much flavor..."

Do you mean that straight from the shops or ground:
- fresh methi has no flavour or aroma, but
- the same fresh methi gives an amazing flavour after it is cooked, whereas
- dried methi smells straight away and after it is cooked.

Sorry for the misunderstanding!  What I meant was when you break the fresh methi leaves, it doesnt give off much smell. But when cooked, it gets a very deep, different smell and that flavor is very different than the flavor that comes from the dried methi leaves!!  There must be some chemical reactions that cause it to be so differently flavored in different forms.
