Meteor forgot password implementation

I'm using meteor Accounts package for user management. i want to implement forgot password functionality. for that i'm going to use Accounts.forgotPassword(options, [callback])

Here is my client side function to trigger forgot password

> forgetPassword = () => {
>   let email = this.refs.email.value;
>   Meteor.call('forgetPassword',email, function(err,list) {
>     console.log(err);
>   });   
>}

Here is my server side function

forgetPassword: function(email){
    Accounts.forgotPassword({email: email}, function(err) {
       if (err) {
         if (err.message === 'User not found [403]') {
           console.log('This email does not exist.');
         } else {
           console.log('We are sorry but something went wrong.');
         }
       } else {
         console.log('Email Sent. Check your mailbox.');
       }
     });
  }

I'm getting below error while i call this functions

Accounts.forgotPassword is a client-side only function. Instead of calling a meteor method, you can just call this function in your client code:

forgetPassword = () => {
    let email = this.refs.email.value;
    Accounts.forgotPassword({email: email}, function (e, r) {
        if (e) {
            console.log(e.reason);
        } else {
            // success
        }
    }); 
}
