Fox’s Spices Ground Fenugreek 750g

Fox’s Spices Ground Fenugreek 750g is a finely milled spice made from fenugreek seeds, giving you all their distinctive flavour in an easy to use powder. It has a warm, slightly bitter and nutty flavour with a gentle maple like sweetness that many people associate with classic curry aromas. The aroma is rich and savoury, and a small amount goes a long way, so you can season confidently without overpowering the dish.

The texture of this fenugreek powder is smooth and free flowing, which means it blends quickly into sauces, curry bases, marinades and spice mixes. Ground fenugreek is a key curry spice in many Indian and South Asian recipes, and it is often used to round out the flavour of lentil dishes, vegetable curries and pickles. It is also useful in Middle Eastern and North African style cooking, where its subtle sweetness and gentle bitterness help balance tomato, onion and chilli.

Key Features:

• Fox’s Spices Ground Fenugreek 750g offers a generous catering style pack that suits regular curry making and batch cooking.
• Fine, even powder that disperses easily in liquids and dry rubs so there are no hard seeds or gritty pieces in the finished dish.
• Ideal for building your own curry powder blends, masalas and pickling spices when you want control over flavour rather than using ready mixed seasonings.
• A versatile fenugreek spice that supports Indian, Pakistani, Middle Eastern and North African inspired recipes as well as hearty stews and savoury sauces.

• Add ground fenugreek to your own garam masala or mixed curry powder along with cumin, coriander and chilli so you always have a homemade blend ready for quick meals.
• Use a little fenugreek powder in lentil dishes, chickpea stews or vegetable curries to bring gentle bitterness and sweetness that balances richness and chilli heat.
• Mix ground fenugreek with mustard seeds, turmeric and chilli in oil at the start of making a pickle brine for traditional style Indian pickles and chutneys.

What does ground fenugreek taste like in a curry?

Ground fenugreek in a curry gives a warm, slightly bitter and nutty flavour with a soft maple like sweetness that blends into the sauce rather than standing out on its own. It helps create the rounded, savoury taste many people recognise from restaurant curries and works especially well with tomatoes, onions and creamy bases.

Can you use ground fenugreek instead of fenugreek seeds?

You can often use ground fenugreek instead of whole seeds when the spice is meant to blend into a sauce or marinade, and many people prefer the convenience of the powder. The flavour comes from the same seed, but the powder is more intense and distributes more quickly, so it is sensible to start with a smaller amount and adjust to taste.

Can you substitute fenugreek powder for fenugreek leaves methi?

Fenugreek powder and fenugreek leaves do not taste the same, so they are not direct substitutes, but a pinch of ground fenugreek can still give useful depth if you do not have leaves. The seeds and powder bring stronger bitter caramel notes, while the leaves taste lighter and more herbal, so it is best to use less powder than the recipe suggests for leaves and balance it with other herbs.
