Minthi

By in food

I spotted this herb at W the other day and was completely stumped. Minthi? Never heard of it. One might assume it is mint, but it’s so different in every way from any mint I’m familiar with: the leaves are small and soft like oregano and it smells great, very fragrant. It smelled Indian to me.

Has anyone even used this before? W often has interesting vegetables and herbs but they never last long.

    That’s fenugreek, I think (also known as methi). Just a creative misspelling :-)

    GOOD!!! I was kinda worried someone would be able to prove it was mint and I’d be a stupid.

    Thank you Kater, you’re my new best friend!
