Be it garam masala, fennel, joan, or panch phoran, there are multiple spices in Henshel to add flavor and aroma to cooking. However, if the smell of the spices is gone, the taste of the cooking will not come back. If you buy a lot of spices together, there is a risk that the umbrella will fall during the monsoon. When he needed spices for cooking, he saw that the spices were completely gone. Almost everyone has to face such problems during monsoons. How do I keep spices in damp monsoon weather?
1) Never store spices in a loose container. Many times, we keep spices in plastic containers. Air will not enter; if kept in such a container, there will be no problem of spices getting damp or umbrellas falling on the spices. Close the lid of the pot quickly with the required amount of spices during cooking.
2) After buying the whole masala from the market, stir it a little in a dry tawa and fill it with the kauto. If this method is followed, the spices will be good for a long time, and the taste will also increase in cooking.
3) Don’t make the mistake of leaving the spice rack in front of the window or directly in front of the gas in the kitchen. A mixture of heat and humidity spoils the spice. Store the spices in a cool place in the cupboard immediately after use.
4) During the rainy season, if a lot of powdered spices are poured into the pot, it can be seen that insects have caught them. To solve this problem, leave a few cloves in the pot and then pour the spices. Clove-flavored ground spices will keep well for a long time.
5) Keeping spices in wooden boxes is very good. There is no risk of the spices getting lost in it. Do not use a wet spoon; it spoils both the aroma and taste of the spices.
