I have no idea what “methi” is or where I could get some…but the rest of that recipe sounds completely irresistible. I plan to try this as soon as I can. Many thanks for a great recipe.

Barbara, I’m so happy you’re back to blogging! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to open my RSS reader and see a new T&S post. But seriously, “Hillbilly Fried Rice” has become a staple in my house thanks to its magical leftovers-transforming powers, so I’m understandably excited about this new regular feature!

And speaking of sprouts, I keep finding myself having started a batch of radish, or broccoli, or bean or whatever sprouts and not having a clue what to do with them once they’ve grown. Any ideas?

Jumper, indeed they will sprout.

Here is a link to a blog post from my friend Indira’s blog, Mahanandi which explains the whole process, with pictures:

It’s really easy to do–I have done it myself.

Just when I stocked fenugreek seeds, now, I have a need for leaves! Do you think my seeds would sprout? Has anyone tried to do that? Are they husked and polished and beaten to death so they wouldn’t sprout? Shall we try?
