Short answer: to keep chiwda crisp, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and the stove, always use a dry spoon, and enjoy it before the best-before date printed on the pack.
Why does chiwda go soft?
Chiwda is light and crunchy, so it absorbs moisture from the air quickly, especially during the monsoon. Heat and sunlight can also affect the taste of the oil and spices over time.
Easy storage tips
- Close the pack tightly after opening, or move the chiwda to a clean, dry airtight jar.
- Keep it in a cupboard away from the stove, sink and sunny windows.
- Use a dry spoon or clean hands so no moisture gets in.
- Take out a small bowl at a time instead of leaving the whole pack open.
- During the monsoon, smaller packs are handy so each one is finished while fresh.
Does this work for farsan and namkeen too?
Yes. The same tips work for farsan, sev, bhujia and other namkeen.
