My Indian friend of many years gave me some seeds and they have now grown to 6 " and he told me to cut them down.

How do i use the leaves / stems in cooking.
How do I store to use next year.

He is my friend and a nice chap but with his accent and a thick mask I can not fully understand what he says.

help please friends.
Everyone is just trying to be Happy.....So lets help Them.

    I use ground fenugreek in some of my spice mixes for curry.  Never seen the fresh leaves but this recipe uses them so maybe worth a try - https://kitchenmai.com/methi-chicken-chicken-curry-with-fenugreek-leaves/

    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
    And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth :)

    I buy dried  methi leaves, so I suppose you dry them but I would freeze some too, to see if they're better.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    If you wrap the leaves in kitchen foil, they can be stored for up to a week in the bottomshelf of the fridge.
