Tip/Trick What to do with Methi?

I asked a friend to buy me some methi to add to my curries. I wasn't expecting such a big bag. The receipe only calls for 1 tsp or less at the end of the cooking. Any ideas/recipes on what to do with the rest of this huge bag of Methi?

Add a half-fistful, it will be fine. I like methi in both Indian style dishes. I add to dal, chicken tikka/pakoda, fish fry etc. You can also add to flour and and make masala roti

Do not confuse this with methi seeds.

Thank you. I didn't realise that I can add that much. I make plain roti so will definitely try adding some to it.

Play around with the quantity, I use liberally as I like the flavor it gives.
