Use a pair of scissors to cut the thick veins of the leaves.
Then use a rolling pin to roll them lightly and keep them aside for sometime.
Blend all the ingredients for preparation properly so that the mixture becomes a thick paste.
Take a leaf and place it on a flat surface with its reverse side facing up.
Next take a small amount of the thick paste and apply it all over the leaf surface, thinly and uniformly.
