Fenugreek seeds are an indispensable ingredient in many Indian curries. The spice itself has the distinct aroma you might recall from your favorite curry dish. Fenugreek is a small yellow-brown seed belonging to the Fabaceae family. It is unsurprisingly native to the Indian subcontinent particularly the sub-Himalayan plains. It has spread to be grown all over in southern Europe parts of Africa and other parts of Asia. Seeds of Fenugreek are typically dry-roasted to bring out their subtle flavors having a bittersweet flavor initially. Seeds of Fenugreek are obviously widely used in curries but are also used throughout their native regions in a variety of savory dishes.
