RAJAH Crushed Red Chilli 200g

Bay leaf is ideal for seasoning stews and soups. It is used in both mild and strongly seasoned dishes and works well with many other herbs and spices. In many homes, a few bay leaves are placed in cabinets where flour and other grains are kept in order to repel bugs. Though bay leaves are used the same way as dried herbs and spices, they shouldn’t be stored in the spice drawer or masaldan. Instead they should be placed in the freezer as they retain almost as much flavour and aroma as a freshly opened jar or packet of bay leaves. Bay leaves stored in masaledanis (spice box), however, quickly lose its potency.
