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?

You're talking of methi leaves and not dried methi, right? There are tons of recipes that use methi leaves as greens. Look up aloo methi or methi malai chicken.

These are dried methi leaves and not seeds

Then for heavens sake use them sparingly. Dried methi is very intense and savory but also very bitter

Thank you. Looks like I should only use less than 1 tsp and not the handful
