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.
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

    Great recipe! I added some leftover lentils, and also used frozen methi which I sauteed in butter. Was really great with our roast lamb. Thank you so much for great recipes!
