• I use this in many dishes
  • While making biryani, use this instead of adding mint & cilantro
  • Use it to make cilantro & mint chutney
  • Use it as spread when making bread sandwich
  • And many more….
• I generally get a lot of fresh mint and cilantro from the farmers market in summer and store it like this for future use
