Here are 7 kitchen tips to store curry leaves effectively:
Refrigerator Storage:
Wrap the curry leaves in a dry paper towel. Place them in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator in the vegetable crisper drawer.
Freezing Method: Place dry curry leaves in a single layer on a tray lined with parchment paper and freeze them until solid. Transfer the frozen leaves into a container and return them to the freezer.
Vacuum Sealing: Use a vacuum sealer to vacuum-pack cleaned and dried curry leaves.
Oil Preservation:
Heat some cooking oil in a small pan until warm, not hot. Add the curry leaves and gently stir for a few seconds until they become crispy.
Transfer the crispy curry leaves along with the oil into a clean, dry jar with a tight lid.Store in the refrigerator.
Drying Method: Wash and dry curry leaves thoroughly using a towel. Spread them in a single layer on a tray or plate and place them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Allow the leaves to air dry completely for until they are crispy.
Herb Keeper or Container: Use a herb keeper container for storing herbs.
Reviving Wilted Leaves:
If your curry leaves have wilted slightly, revive them by soaking them in cold water for a few minutes.
