The smell of plucked and rubbed fenugreek leaves is, to me, the smell of India. I was cabin crew for BA for 31 years and spent so much time there. The one smell that sticks in my mind is fenugreek. I used to love my night stops in Mumbai, I miss it so much. By the way, Tesco always have dried fenugreek if anyone is having trouble finding it.
I'm unable to buy fresh methi where I live, so I grow my own. I just soak whole fenugreek seeds in lukewarm water for a bit, then grow them in a pot. There are plenty of how-to videos, and it's pretty easy, The next time I grow some I'll give this recipe a try - it looks delicious!
Are you using fenugreek seeds bought at the grocery store or specifically a grower's variety like from a garden center? I ask because typically "spice" seeds are dried to a point that they're no longer viable to grow, or so I thought. I'd love to try growing my own too if the ones from the grocery store work with soaking. Thanks for any tips!
I'm making this today. The chicken is in the pot now. I had errands to run after I made the tomato and onion mixture, so it had plenty of time to cool off. I left the chicken marinating in the yogurt mixture for 5 hours. I was lucky and was able to get fresh fenugreek! I am really looking forward to this for dinner. The house smells amazing! Update: My adult son dropped by tonight and ate the curry. He LOVED it! Thank you so much for sharing.
You cook with me several times a week here in New Zealand, my lovely man walks in the kitchen and says “Chetna’s here” and knows dinner will be fantastic.😊❤
I buy frozen fenugreek from the Indian supermarket in the freezer. I have never found fresh for sale here (Melbourne) though some nurseries sell seedlings to plant. I recently bought a small curry tree recently and it's doing well. 🤞
This past weekend, my local Indian grocer had massive bunches of bright green methi. I purchased a bunch, washed it off, threw it in a colander, and placed it in the back of the fridge to remove the moisture ... and then today I realised I'd forgotten about it. 😶 Absolutely dried out and wasn't worth much. I'm heading to the grocer this weekend in hopes of another fresh bunch so I can make this dish on Saturday. Thanks for the suggestion!
Your v fond of buying. This. MASSIVE. CHICKEN. TRY GET BUTCHER. TO CHOP UP A S.M.A.L.L.E.R. BIRD. TASTES WAY BETTER. THE SMALLER THE CHICKEN. THE BETTER.

I can't get leaves either. I'm going to try to grow them as you just suggested.

@@benellis6677 I used organic whole fenugreek seeds I bought at my local natural foods store. Maybe Frontier brand? I don't recall.
@@racheldebasitis8184 Nice! I’ll have a look at the store then too. Thanks!

The purees are so good...makes it more jucier.
Oh, wow. What a great-looking curry

Another fabulous chicken recipe! Thank you for the inspiration. Will need to either make it in my instant pot or wait for a cool rainy day. 🙏👏😘

Looks delicious, thank you! I've found frozen methi blocks in Morrisons before, so will have to give this a go with them!
Hi!
The dish seemed very tasty!
I like your channel a lot. And you are so kind. Can't wait for the next video.
Wish you a great evening!
Which blender do you use Chetna? I’m trying to decide between nutrient and ninja, not sure which is better for crushing spices
Mine is nutribullet
I adore fenugreek. This is a must-try!
Will surely try, just a quick question do you even blend the bay leaves along with onion, tomatoes etc
Yes she did
Looks delicious

Saw some in the fruit and veg shop in Clayton Road, Clayton today. Good luck

This looks AMMMMAAAAZING 👌
Dear Chetna please make methi aloo for the vegetarians. Thx.
Hi chetna
I love your videos ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
What’s it taste like? Because I love a chicken bhuna
I'm just watching a te run of bake-off and your are in this one baking eastern European bread you smashed it 👌 1st place
Does adding double cream weaken the spices? I tried it before and the flavour went really mild :(
I work at a spice shop, and we have found that the fenugreek seeds germinate very easily! Grow your own!
I sometimes find methi in my supermarket.
wow
