Hi Darshita,
I have just been gifted a pack of 50 mathiyas. Do I freeze them or refrigerate them? I live in a very warm place of course.
I had frozen them and they were unravelled with a lot of effort. Will they keep well now in the refrigerator?
Hello Meera,
I don’t think so you will store now in refrigerator.
Fry few and test. Normally, you can store in refrigerator.
