👩‍🍳 How to make Manimuni Xaak Breakfast

Quick stir-fry (10 mins, high heat): Heat mustard oil until smoking. Add garlic and chillies — cook 30 seconds. Add manimuni leaves (they are small and cook quickly). Stir-fry on high heat 5–6 minutes until just wilted and bright green. Season with salt. Do not overcook — they should retain some texture.
