I am glad I could at least see the hands behind all these delectable food! ;) My methis are all died.:( I don't know what happened. One day I saw these tiny flies all over it, and then the leaves turned yellow. Before it spread to other plants, I dumped everything including the soil. I am starting another batch now. Aha! <i>Indira replies: Thanks RP. So sorry to hear that. Good luck with the new batch! </i> Looks great Indira. I am glad I could at least see the hands behind all these delectable food! ;)

I too love methi and it gets cooked atleast once a week. It is indeed a flavourful green though it has bitter taste. I read that applying a paste of methi leaves on the face and washing it warm water cures pimples, black heads, and dryness of the skin. It prevents early appearance of wrinkles as well. When combined with neem leaves it is one of the best face packs one could use. <i>Indira replies: Thanks Shayna. I totally forgot about the rejunavating properties of menthi. Yep, we (me and my sisters) used to do that in our adolescent years. We'd combine dry methi powder with besan, turmeric, honey and yogurt and apply it as a face mask. That really works too. Thanks Shayna for sharing these forgotten tidbits about methi power. </i> Hai indira, nice post for the green blog project. I too love methi and it gets cooked atleast once a week.
