Hi Guys

Just wondering how many of you use methi in your madras and what the consensus is...use it or not?

Cheers

"Methi" as in ground fenugreek : always; "methi" as in Kasoori methi (fenugreek leaves) : sometimes.

Hi Ed
At one time Kasoori Methi used to go into just about every dish. Part of the Bengali Bhuna style of cooking.
Not so much these days, Chef Dependant, but still an essential part of BIR Chefs work table.

Just a question,Chewy. Have you ever tried any other Indian cuisine other than Bangladeshi/Bengali?

I just wondered from your posts, Chewy. You seem to go on a lot about Bangladeshi cuisine. Would you care to elaborate, from your experience, why Bangladeshi is better than other dishes?
