I see you use funugreek leaves.  I've just bought some funugreek seeds, can I use these instead, and if so how much and do I roast or fry them before use?

Cheers.    Pat

xPATx, the leaves and seeds are completely different things, it's leaves or nothing I'm afraid.

Thanks for that YF.  So my seeds are of no use?  Or can I use them in anything else?

Roll up, Roll up  FREE Funugreek seeds to a good home !!

 I like this learning but its costing me a fortune.

Cheers.    Pat

Personally I don't believe whole fenugreek seeds have any place in BIR recipes. You could make up your own curry powder though, which might include roasted and then ground fenugreek seeds.

Or you could Google for authentic indian recipes which do tend to use whole fenugreek seed.

I spent an enjoyable Friday evening cooking this amazing base sauce and this evening cooking the Madras. Whenever I go for a BIR it has to be a Madras and this is as close as I have come to it so far. It was hotter than I have had at a BIR and the feeling has only just started to come back to my tongue  :o I like the way the chicken is cooked and will be cooking my chicken in this way from now on. I now have a freezer full of base sauce and a couple of portions of Madras. Just add beer for a perfect night in........... I would recommend this recipe as the only skill needed is the ability to read a recipe [its that straight forward] so give it a try.......

                                ;D ;D ;D many thanks Darth
