Where can I buy fenugreek seeds, bec? Can I sub with anything else?
Hey Angie, any Indian grocer should have them 🙂
Perfect Soup for a chilly winters night, Loved it.
Great Flavours Thanks Bec!
Excellent, Leanne, so glad you enjoyed this 🙂
Thanks!
Thanks! When do I add that – with the whole spices? And what about cardamom? Thanks again.
I think I need to go back to bed!!!!! I’ve updated the ingredients – it’s 1/8 tsp ground CARDAMOM! Lol I’m so sorry, I can’t imagine how confused I’ve just made you. So the method was right all along, I just had a typo in the ingredients :-/
And also wondering about the ground cumin – don’t see that in the instructions. Thanks!
Typo! Sorry! I typed in ground cumin to the ingredients and it should read ground coriander! Sorry about the mix up.
