Fresh Celery Leaves: 1-2 cups (well washed and dried)

Chili Flakes: (optional, for spiciness)

Method of preparation (Step-by-Step):

Step 1: Cleaning the Leaves First of all, pluck fresh leaves from the celery plant. Wash them thoroughly with water to remove all dust and dirt. After washing, spread them on a cotton cloth and dry them in the fan air (there should be no water left in them at all).

Place a paper towel on a microwaveable plate and spread the leaves on it.

Microwave it for 1-2 minutes.

Take out and check, if the leaves are not crisp, then heat again at an interval of 30-30 seconds until they start breaking when touched with your hand.

Step 3: Tawa Method (Gas Chulha – 15 minutes)
