Boy! I got the smallest box of dried fenugreek (methi) I could find a
few years ago. I've used it a number of times since and I still have
more than half left! I like it but I need to find more recipes to use
it in. All I do now is "Malai Methi Murgh" - Creamy chicken curry
with Fenugreek.

I need to go to our single (but very good) Indian Restaurant They have
a daily noon and weekend brunch buffet. I can talk to the owner and
she'll help me find some other ways to use the fenugreek. We also
have several ethnic markets that carry Indian/Asian markets, and I
can buy rose water, orange blossom and jasmine and more.
