  1. Don’t worry about Pinuninterest,
    They’re crap anyway.

    Thanks for another wonderful recipe, which I’ll try soon.

    Peace

    1. Hi Anuradha,

      It depends on your preference ?.
      For our family, I have made it for breakfast and made it a bit runny and when we make it for lunch or dinner, I tend to cook it fully.
      Happy Cooking!

    1. Hi Cheryl,

      Absolutely! Be careful not to add too much as it may make the curry bitter – probably not more than a pinch. The Fenugreek Powder is made from seeds which are far more strong/intense/bitter than the leaves.
      Happy Cooking!

  2. Thanks so much for the recepie.
    Would like to know where can I get the pot that’s used for cooking.

    Thanks,
    Lakshmi
