Methi leaves are small in size, growing along slender, green stems that reach 25-50 centimeters in height. The oblong to rounded leaflets grow in three clusters and are thin and delicate. When fresh, Methi leaves have a light, sweet aroma with a mild, grassy, and slightly bitter flavor with notes of celery, fennel, and maple syrup. As the plant matures, it produces sword-shaped, pea-like pods filled with 10-20 tiny, flat, yellow-brown pungent and aromatic seeds that are very similar in flavor to the leaves.
