If we have limited amount of fresh Tulasi leaves how can we offer the food? Is it okey to touch the bhoga with the tulasi leave or stem and meditating that i am placing Tulasi leave on the top?
my humble obeisances,
There are some ways:
1. You can keep dry Tulasi twig on Your right hand and offer food.
2. You can offer with dry leaves.
3. If nothing is there after all prayers You can call out 3 times "Tulasi! Tulasi! Tulasi!" She is not none different from Her name so it will be considered equally as offering fresh Tulasi leaf. Your servant,
