Alternative to Fenugreek in curry?

Question

Is there an alternative to dried Fenugreek in curry? Is it required?

Answer 1

Fenugreek is one of those flavours that you can't really substitute. However, I've been cooking Indian for a couple of years now, and I get by fine without it.

Answer 2

You can make so much different things out of Fenugreek.

• Fenugreek paratha - (Methi Paratha)

• Potato Fenugreek curry - youtube link here

• Lentil Soup with Fenugreek - (Methi Dal)

Above all its amazing herb that is readily available

5. Antidote For Skin Problems

Answer 3

There are lots of different curries. Many use fenugreek, and many don't. My favourite one uses garam masala, cumin, coriander and turmeric.
