A three layered bread pakora can be your easy go-to tri-colour snack.
Use loose, well-draining potting soil enriched with compost ensuring an acidic pH of 6-7 for healthy growth
Use 4-6 inch fresh stems, remove the lower leaves and plant them a few inches deep into the soil.
Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging, and water the plant only when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Prune the plant regularly by trimming its stems to encourage branching and prevent it from flowering.
Harvest stems as needed, leave enough foliage for regrowth and check periodically for any pest infestations
