I love the bitterness of Fenugreek seeds. We do it with Onion Curry Vadam (black vadagam) so it has it’s own flavour. I love to have it a couple of days after I make it. It gives perfect flavour. However I do it I still cannot get the same taste as my grandma. I got the exact recipe from her but still not exact same taste.. hmm! Some time do you feel it too? My kids and hubby loves it.. At the end of the day that’s what matter right?
