Notes

  1. You can try any other herb like mint, curry leaves,fenugreek leaves,spinach,dill leaves etc . You need to roast them and use .
  2. I have used raw brahmi leaves in the above as you can ge max nutrient out of it when consumed raw. if you feel the flavor is strong , you can just fry it for 1 min and later grind. But then you are compromising with a healthy dish.
