The only challenge to make methi sabzi is to separate the leaves. I took twenty mins only cleaning and rinsing the vegetable. Same goes for spinach or other green leafy veggies.

    One option is to soak them in a bowl if water. It loosens the soil, then rinse out under running water in a colander. Separating leaves takes time…..but the health benefits bake it worth the effort. So the ends justify it. Right? πŸ™‚
