Joel I think sunkan is talking about methi seeds but this is just me. Sunkan is the best person to answer.

[joelcabar]

Jalpa, I had question about methi because, I thought methi seeds tasts bitter when fried or roasted.

[sunkan]

it is methi seeds sakhis and when used in less it is great it is only when the quantity exceeds than required it becomes bitter otherwise even for sambhar i have methi also fried and ground withother masalas, very healing for the stomach
