Pour a cup of water into a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once the water begins to bubble, add the methi seeds and allow them to simmer for 4–5 minutes so they can release their earthy aroma and subtle bitterness into the water. Next, sprinkle in the turmeric powder and continue simmering for another 2–3 minutes. The liquid will gradually take on a golden hue as the flavors meld together.
