I'll never find them here. <em>Hi Sara! There really is no substitute for fenugreek leaves, so it's disticnt flavour would be missed if avoided. You could try finding an Indian grocery store, they will surely have it available there. Otherwise, just leave it out and garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves. That would really delicious as well. :)</em> Meena, is there anything I could substitute for the fenugreek leaves? I’ll never find them here.
