Curry leaves can lose their flavor quickly if not stored properly. Here are 8 simple tips to keep them fresh without a fridge.

First, choose fresh and vibrant curry leaves. Look for leaves that are green and free from blemishes or spots.

Wash the leaves thoroughly to remove dirt. Pat them dry using a clean cloth or paper towel to avoid moisture buildup.

Store curry leaves in a breathable container like a paper bag. This allows air circulation and keeps them dry.

Alternatively, you can tie the leaves in a muslin cloth. It protects them while letting moisture escape, preventing rot.

You can also dry curry leaves in the sun. Spread them on a clean cloth for a few hours until they are crisp and store in an airtight jar.

Another option is to grind them into a paste with a little oil. This paste can be stored in a jar, and it lasts longer while retaining flavor.

If you want to use them later, freeze the curry leaves in an ice cube tray with a little water. They will keep for months and can be used directly.

Remember to keep the storage place cool and away from direct sunlight. This helps maintain their aroma and taste for longer.

Following these tips will ensure you enjoy fresh curry leaves for your dishes even without a fridge. Happy cooking!
