How to Use Methi Leaves

Fresh methi is incredibly versatile in Indian cooking. Make the classic Methi Paratha by kneading chopped leaves into dough, cook a rich Methi Dal or Methi Chicken, or add to aloo methi sabzi for a quick weeknight dish. A small handful stirred into paneer or potato curries adds an authentic depth of flavour. Blanching briefly reduces bitterness if preferred.

Storage Tips

Store unwashed in a damp cloth or sealed bag in the refrigerator. Best used within 3–4 days. You can also chop and freeze for use in cooked dishes later.
