How To Make Murgh Methi / Chicken Curry With Fenugreek
What fascinates me about Fenugreek (Methi in Hindi), is that the seeds are considered a spice, the leaves are considered a vegetable and when the leaves are dried, they are considered a spice! Inspired by Chef Sanjeev Kapoor's recipe, Chicken is simmered in a delicious blend of three states of Fenugreek the seeds, the leaves and the dried spice together with yogurt and sour cream, turmeric and red chilli powder till tender. This is a deliciously mild curry perfect for those that love a curry but cannot handle spice.
