this is the way i do...its good to be shred with others...
ReplyDeleteI never get fresh curry leaves here and what i do is every time i go to a indian store i buy a lot of leaves and freeze them in a zip locker it stays fresh for ages, try this it is much better then the dried ones.
ReplyDelete@ Palatable : Thanks for dropping by
ReplyDelete@ Reshmi : Nice to know that you do the same.
@ Happy Cook : Freezing does not work for me as I use this in seasoning and frozen curry leaves directly on to oil splutters a lot.
hey thanks a lot... this will help as i don't have too much of an option to get fresh leaves!
ReplyDeleteHi , keeping them in the freezer will not make them splutter if you remove a few and keep them aside ready for the tadka , so I quite agree with Happy Cook but am wondering about how green they stay in the freezer , another tip I picked up off some viedo says to wash , dry totally , remove from stem and keep in a plate and keep in the fridge for 3-4 hours and then remove plate they are dry by then but still green , then transfer to an air tight container - plastic , glass or a zip lock bag and store in the fridge for ages ! Works in places like U.K and U.S.A where we can't go to Indian Stores often especially so in winter!
