Hi, just introducing myself. I found the site yesterday and read it until I got carpel tunnel syndrome.

I use the base from The Curry Secret book by Kris Dhillon and love it (only made 3 batches though in the last 5-10 years but plan on making it every week or two now). Finding it very interesting to read about the different methods here so I will try new things soon. I'm a fan of sag but haven't tried to make one yet.

I just have one question for now. Where I live I can't find powdered fenugreek (Philippines where curry is rare). I was only able to get the seeds. Is it OK to just put a pinch of those in with the base and hope they get ground up (or absorbed) with all the blending instead of adding the powder when making the final curry recipe?
