You can buy fenugreek leaves as well as fenugreek seeds, but the use of the leaves and seeds are completely different. The leaves are used for making methi puri and aalo methi, while the seeds are used as a spice mainly in spice blends. The seeds can be ground into powder for making garam masala and panch phoran masala. People can consume fenugreek (methi) water to remove harmful toxins from the body and improve digestion and help control the sugar level.
