In India everyday mom buys her fresh green leafy vegetables from the vegetable walla, he always gives her some extra green chillies or karivepaku(curry leaves) or kothmir (cilantro) . No such luck here in these chain grocery stores here, except in our local farmers market where they throw in some chillies or couple of fruits just like in India. But I go there only in summer. I do go to a mexican store everyother weekend to buy vegetables and stuff and some times there's a sale on green chillies and once in awhile I buy more chillies than needed.
After heading home,
Another thing I do immediately after getting home(when the quantity is less is)
After heading home,
- I snap off and discard the stems,
- wash the chillies,
- pat them dry(make sure they are completely dry),
- put them in a ziplock and store in the freezer.This keeps for about 3-4 months.
Another thing I do immediately after getting home(when the quantity is less is)
Follow Steps 1 through 4 and put the chillies in an airtight container lined with tissue and keep in the refrigerator. This keeps for about 3 -4 weeks.
