Wash and soak methi seeds in 2 cups water for 6 hours or over night. Drain out water thoroughly, pack it loosely in clean cloth. Set aside in a bowl for 2 days to allow Methi to sprout or germinate. Sprinkle water occasionally (must ensure the pack is not immersed in water - the Methi may get spoiled instead of germinating).
