🥘 When to Add Microgreens
Microgreens should be added just before turning off the flame.
This helps:
Preserve delicate nutrients Maintain mild taste Prevent overcooking
🌱 How to Use
Prepare your vegetable or non-veg curry as usual. Once fully cooked and ready to switch off the flame, add one small handful of fresh microgreens directly into the curry. Stir gently for 20–30 seconds. Turn off the flame. Cover with lid for 1 minute. Serve hot.
No chopping required.
