HOMEMADE DRY CURRY LEAVES & DRY FENUGREEK(METHI) LEAVES

Yum
Hi dear friends, last two Saturday’s am posting basic recipes, so I thought that hereafter I will post basic recipe on Saturdays, I don’t know whether its possible on every week, but I will post my level best...

Today’s post is not a recipe, which is very easy to use and healthy supplementary when we don’t have, or not available the fresh one of these ingredients...

We used to keep stock of the dry curry leaves, as its very handy too temper chutneys, making of idli podies and other recipes. Likewise, dry methi leaves is also very handy which is used in dal, sambhar and other gravies too.


You can prepare these leaves in a jiffy and can store it in dry air-tight container for long time as it has long shelf life.

  7. Fenugreek leaves, 0.5 ounce. Native to south Asia and southeastern Europe, fenugreek leaves come from a sturdy annual. Ready to use, it can be added to recipes as needed or simply used as a garnish. Associated with Indian cuisine, Fenugreek Leaves are typically used in meat curries, chutney and vegetable dishes. Store in a cool, dry place.

  10. No, I think dry roast will burn the leaves. If you are not doing Microwave method, sun dry for 2-3 days...
