Fenugreek is rich in protein and both the leaves and seeds are consumed as a food.

They are used as a main ingredient in many curries and are also used in an array of dishes from fish, lamb, beef, vegetables, stews, pickles, chutneys and rice dishes.

Split fenugreek seeds are not anything but cracked seeds of fenugreek, which are regularly used to prepare delicious pickles such as the famous Methia Keri, which gets its name itself from the key ingredient methi na kuria (crushed fenugreek seeds).
