Notes
How to Store Malaysian Meat Curry Powder:
- Airtight Container: Transfer the curry powder to an airtight container to protect it from air and moisture.
- Cool, Dark Place: Store the container in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard, away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid Heat: Keep the curry powder away from heat sources, as exposure to heat can lead to flavor deterioration.
- Check Regularly: Periodically check the aroma and color of the curry powder. If it loses its vibrancy, it may be time to refresh the blend or make a new batch.
- Use Within Six Months: While the spices won't spoil, their flavors may diminish over time. Aim to use the curry powder within six months for optimal taste.
