No idea why fenugreek is a blind spot. Just from the name alone it should be fabulous. "Oh I've added a bit of fenugreek into this, hope you like it," I say, looking at you warmly. I want that life I want to be that person

but either way keep the temp lower and heat them for less time than you would most other Indian spices. Mainly do not char, brown, or burn them.
Also get them into whatever you're cooking nice and early, they need to cook in for a significant time to mellow out properly.
If it's done properly they turn a bit translucent at the edges. Still somewhat bitter, but manageable and worth it.
I have an average bitterness tolerance. If yours is average or higher then careful cooking might change your mind.
