Methi (Fenugreek) is sort of like beer. It's the acquired taste category of food. A little bitter, but so flavorful when used in the right proportion with certain dishes. Growing it is so simple that I would rebrand this as a beginner's herb. One has to try really really hard to fail in an attempt to grow these.
Pot/Seed
Take a shallow pot, and sprinkle a handful of methi/fenugreek seeds on the soil (avoid overcrowding of seeds in patches).
Sun
Place the pot indoor by a window sil, or outside in bright light. The plant does not require direct sun.
Water
Water enough to keep the soil moist at all times. The seeds should sproud and you should see tiny grass like plants fight their way through the top layer of soil and stand tall.
Harvest
The plants mature in 7-8 days after iniital sprout appears. Wait in terms of days or until the leaves appear circular in shape. The first leaves are tiny, and they mature over time. The tiny leaves can be harvested as well - but tend to be more bitter than the fully mature plant.
Good luck!
