Methi leaves, or fenugreek leaves, are a nutrient-rich green used widely in Indian cuisine. Typically cooked with spices, garlic, onions, and sometimes tomatoes, methi leaves are prepared as stir-fries, added to curries, or incorporated into flatbreads like parathas. They have a slightly bitter yet aromatic flavor that complements savory dishes. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and calcium, methi leaves are lauded for their health benefits, including aiding digestion, regulating blood sugar, and promoting heart health. They are also rich in antioxidants and fiber. Despite their nutritional virtues, dishes with methi leaves may sometimes be high in oil or salt, depending on the recipe, which could impact calorie content. Methi leaves cooked in lighter recipes preserve their benefits while maintaining a delicious flavor typical of South Asian tradition.
