How to freeze fresh methi?
It’s quite difficult to find fresh methi here in my town so I usually grow it in my kitchen garden. Once grown, I use some in the dishes and freeze the rest for later use:
- Start by picking through the methi, pluck off the leaves and discard the stalks, thoroughly wash them, drain in sieve, finely chop them and then freeze in a sealed container or freezer bag. They can be stored up to 6 months in freezer.
