Fenugreek Powder 50g

The secret to rich, authentic curry bases. Our Fenugreek Powder offers a complex, earthy flavour with a unique, bittersweet maple-like aroma. This potent powder is a key ingredient for thickening sauces and creating the deep, savoury background notes of iconic Indian dishes.
A little of this potent powder transforms a dish:

Curry Bases & Gravies: The essential ingredient for the authentic taste of Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, and dhal. Often added early and cooked in oil to "bloom" its flavour.

Spice Blends: A key component in homemade curry powder and garam masala.

Flatbreads & Doughs: Knead a small amount into dough for naan or paratha for a savoury, complex flavour.

Vegetable & Potato Dishes: Add a pinch to sautéed greens, potato curries, or eggplant dishes for depth.

How to Use: For the best and most authentic flavour, fenugreek powder is often "bloomed" by frying it gently in oil or ghee for 30 seconds at the beginning of cooking before adding other ingredients. This step unlocks its full aroma and reduces any raw bitterness.

A Word of Caution: Fenugreek powder is extremely potent. Always use sparingly—½ to 1 teaspoon is usually sufficient for a large pot of curry. Too much can make a dish unpleasantly bitter.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to protect its potent aroma.

Ingredients: 100% Ground Fenugreek.
