In my place fresh fenugreek leaves are really hard to find. I always have dried ones on hand, i used those in this and it turned out quite good actually..If you have fresh ones, saute it well in a separate pan with some oil and remove it and add it at the last.

If you have fresh ones, saute it in a separate pan with little oil and remove it. Add it when i added the dried ones and continue with the process.
