Fenugreek, also known as Methi, is native to the eastern Mediterranean. Its English name originates from the Latin *faenugraecum* via Middle French *fenugrec*. This versatile herb is widely cultivated in India, Pakistan, Morocco, France, and Argentina. In South India and Sri Lanka, fenugreek is a popular spice not only in curries but also in chutneys, lentil dishes, pickles, and vegetable preparations. Known for its strong, celery-like aroma, fenugreek is a key ingredient in many curry powders.
