Information
Recipe for dried Fenugreek leaves
🍛 Creamy Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani)
The global superstar of Indian cuisine that relies on fenugreek leaves for its signature depth
📜 Authentic Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1.5 lbs (700g) chicken thighs
-
2 tbsp dried fenugreek leaves (crushed between palms)
-
1 cup tomato purée
-
1/2 cup heavy cream
-
1 tbsp kasoori methi
-
2 tsp garam masala
-
1 tsp Kashmiri chili powder
-
1/2 cup yogurt
-
4 tbsp butter
-
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
Key Steps:
-
Marinate chicken in yogurt + spices (30 mins)
-
Char in oven/grill (smoky flavor)
-
Simmer sauce: Tomato purée + cream + fenugreek leaves (added last)
-
Finish with 1 tbsp crushed kasuri methi (never cook it long!)
🌟 Why Fenugreek Leaves Matter:
-
Bitter-sweet balance: Cuts through the cream (like bay leaves in French cuisine)
-
Aroma trigger: Releases sotolon (same compound in maple syrup) when warmed
-
Texture: Rehydrated leaves create velvety sauce
Pro Tip:
-
Rub 1 tsp dried leaves directly on chicken before marinating for deeper flavor
-
Storage: Keep leaves in freezer to preserve volatile oils
