👩‍🍳 How to make Fenugreek Leaves Curry

Clean and chop (3 mins, no heat): Wash fenugreek leaves thoroughly, remove thick stems, chop fine. Visual: clean, tender leaves only.
Temper oil (1 min, high heat): Heat coconut oil, crackle mustard seeds, add curry leaves. Visual: seeds pop and turn golden.
Add leaves (6 mins, medium heat): Add chopped fenugreek leaves, turmeric, red chili powder, salt. Stir constantly. Cook until leaves are completely soft and any liquid evaporates. Visual: leaves become very soft, dark green.
Finish (1 min, low heat): Adjust seasoning. Fenugreek should not be bitter—do not overcook.
