FAQ
- Are methi seeds the same as fenugreek? Yes — methi is the Indian name for fenugreek (German: Bockshornklee).

- Do I need to soak methi seeds? Soaking 10–20 minutes can soften texture and reduce bitterness for certain recipes.
- Is it spicy? Methi is aromatic and slightly bitter, not “chili hot.”
- Can I make tea with it? Yes — steep soaked seeds in hot water and adjust taste with lemon or honey.
