Any Indian recipe that calls for Methi! (mixed with potatos and spice is particularly tasty!)

Use them any way you would use spinach or other greens.  It's a
different flavor but very good.  Try mixing a little into some cooked
potatoes, or use in bread.  Or use them as microgreens in salad.  I
think it might be very interesting in fresh cheese.

If you know any nursing mothers, tea from the seeds is said to be a
good galactagogue.
