Fenugreek seeds are used widely in Middle Eastern and South Asian cookery. In India and Pakistan, the seeds are added to vegetables and rice; in Turkey, to hot pastes; in Egypt, they are boiled for a sweetened tea. The sweet aroma of fenugreek seeds is similar to maple syrup, while their flavour is savoury and nutty.
