This tip was shared by my cousin Jayanthi. We tried this and since it works, we continue to use this to store Green Mirchi | Chilli fresh for long while refrigerated.

Method:

• Wash the Green Mirchi | Chilli well and leave them to dry on a piece of cloth.
• Once they are completely dried, remove their stalks.
• lay tissue papers on the bottom of the he storage container| plastic box| stainless steel box.
• Transfer the dried mirchis into the container and add Haldi | Turmeric powder. Mix well. For 250 gms of mirchi you need 1 tsp of Haldi | Turmeric powder.
• Cover the top of the mirchi with a tissue paper and place the lid.
• Keep the container in refrigeration.
• Ensure to cover with the tissue paper each time after use. In case the tissue gets too soggy, repalce with fresh ones.
• The mirchi will retain its freshness for about 15 days instead of just 3 to 4 days when kept without the haldi mix.
