Hi Hetal & Anuja,

Love checking out your recipes, thanks for sharing.

I tried this effective way to store curry leaves fresh and just like I was surprised you’d be surprised that they were fresh for almost 2 months.

You need to buy curry leaves with the main stem, and only remove the individual sprigs separately,wash them and air dry them. Once they are dry, hold all the sprigs together and place them vertically in a glass bottle and put them in the refrigerator. Use as and when required.

I was surprised, I tried this in the first week of July and they were fresh until yesterday wen I used the last sprig.

Thought I’d share with you and ur readers 🙂

In reply to Mary MacDonald. Hi Mary, It can be as simple as putting them under running water to remove any dust. You may want to pat them dry before using them.

I bought some dried curry leaves at a store and on the bag it says should be cleaned before use. How do you clean dried curry leaves?

Can we dry and store mint in similar way ?
