This popular herb, commonly used in Indian cuisine and renowned for its medicinal properties has several valuable uses. In Indian culture, the leaves are used to flavor and garnish popular dishes such as Butter Chicken (chicken Mahkni), korma, curry, and several others.
The seeds are believed to thicken hair and reverse the greying of hair. The seeds produce thick long stems with oblong leaves that are fragrant and rich in nutrients. The seeds will often smell like maple syrup when toasted in oil, and the seeds when ground, taste earthy with slight bitter notes. The leaves can also be used as tea.
Germination will take 3 - 5 days. You can consume them as microgreens, harvest mature leaves for dishes and tea, or wait for the flowers to fall off and use the seeds.
