Just ordering a few spices to make a few of the curries posted on here.
J.Col, what is dried Methi? There are methi (Fenugreek) leaves and seeds, i'm not sure which to get?
EDIT: Also, does anyone have a good recipe for making Pathia?
Found this one which I'm going to try as i'll have over 100 cayenne chillies soon
