Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Methi' is fenugreek. Spice forming curry aroma base in Indian cuisine, but in Ayurveda treated as chunk of 'soluble dietary fiber (galactomannan)' delaying carb/lipid absorption as 'natural FOSHU (Foods for Specified Health Uses)'. In modern India, for diabetes prevention/intense diet purposes, drinking this 'bitter water' just soaking seeds in water every morning is the most popular highly-conscious routine.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] After drinking water up, directly chew/crush 'Methi seeds' left at bottom swollen jelly-like with back teeth, hammering ultimate dietary fiber and bitterness directly into stomach!
