Utskho suneli (Georgian: უცხო სუნელი, lit.'foreign spice')[a][2][3] is a traditional Georgian spice mix with blue fenugreek. It is thought that utskho suneli have integrated the culinary tradition from the influence of the late medieval Persia or Mughal India.[4] It is used separately and also in mix with the svanuri marili salt[5] and khmeli suneli.[6] The herb is one of the most important parts of the Georgian cooking traditions,[7][8] and is present in almost every dish.[9]
