Now I live in other states, and find that the methi is allowed to grow 8-9" and so we have to pick out the leaves and throw away the stalk.Maybe this is the reason that the peson who gave the recipe,thought she has nevr eaten the leaves before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27140791.post-68874094654267910672010-10-19T23:27:45.253-04:002010-10-19T23:27:45.253-04:00Hey Indo.. thanks for the explanations.

It reminded me of the pachadi that my grandma used to make with mangoes or tomatoes sometimes and no yogurt is mixed in. Sra is indeed absolutely correct.
