What does METHI mean in Scrabble?
noun
Indian Englishbotany
Fenugreek, an herb whose leaves and seeds are widely used in Indian cooking.
Methi is a Hindi loanword that entered English through Indian cuisine, and it names both the bitter, aromatic leaves used as a green vegetable and the small hard seeds ground into spice blends and pickles. The leaves are commonly cooked with potatoes or worked into flatbread, while the seeds flavour curries and appear in Ayurvedic and folk remedies. English cookbooks increasingly print methi rather than translate it, since fenugreek does not quite name the exact plant Indian cooks mean.
