Answers: i would like to know what the spice looks like and where it can be purchased
fenugreek (methi)
Fenugreek is a native to India and southern Europe. For centuries it has grown wild in India, the Mediterranean and North Africa. where it is mainly cultivated.
Spice Description:
Fenugreek is the small stony seeds from the pod of a bean-like plant. The seeds are hard, yellowish brown and angular. Some are oblong, some rhombic, other virtually cubic, with a side of about 3mm (1/8”). A deep furrow all but splits them in two. They are available whole and dried , or as a dull yellow powder, ground from the roasted seeds.
Bouquet: Warm and penetrating, becoming more pronounced when the seeds are roasted. Ground, they give off a ‘spicy’ smell, pungent, like an inferior curry powder which would probably contain too much fenugreek.
Flavour: Powerful, aromatic and bittersweet, like burnt sugar. There is a bitter aftertaste, similar to celery or lovage.
Any Indian grocery store will carry both fenugreek seeds & powder.

Don't you mean Fennel?
Fennel is a herb that you can buy from good greengrocers.
do you mean fennel
Well fennel isn't a spice so I imagine you mean fenugreek. You can purchase it at any supermarket - it is the spice without which, a curry will never taste right - usually added toward the end of cooking, it's that aroma that you can never quite identify!
Sorry, we have no matches for Fenek
Did you mean Fink?
