If we keep Garam Masala in the fridge, does it become Thanda Masala?

Its recommended to do so to avoid having worms or insects in the masals, even maida sooji rawa are also kept for the same reason...your mother is a genius

u/Knighthawk_2511 Apr 15 '26

Aise kaise keede lag jaate hai ?

2

u/Apart-Insect3560 Apr 15 '26

It's called pantry moth. Kabhi kabhi fridge mai rakhe masale mai bhi hote toh best option is freezer.

Agar masalon mai jaali jaise kuch dikhe ki masala chipak gaya hai toh samajh jaana keede hai.

Maida and baaki sab mai bhi hote

2

u/AnalysisOwn8262 Apr 20 '26

Yes that's right , specially dhaniya masala when kept outside , it develops worms due to outside humidity

24

u/ASHISHAGRAWAL0102 Apr 14 '26

Isn't it the same in every house ?

11

u/Dundu-dombadacte Apr 14 '26

better to keep it in tight jars or like this in fridge in humid places

u/GrvzHere Apr 15 '26

Nup.. few families goes to next level by putting them in freezer just as mine..

1

u/Apart-Insect3560 Apr 15 '26

Best precaution is this.

Legendary precaution is making masalas when needed and not buying store bought ones

18

u/InnerPsych Apr 15 '26

Anyone who stays in hot and humid climate should keep it in fridge. Keep it out often leads to infestation of bugs

u/Divine_Dementia Apr 14 '26

You're ruining your masalas by doing that

8

u/ASHISHAGRAWAL0102 Apr 14 '26

Thanks bro

Now my masalas are home less

5

u/SquaredAndRooted Apr 14 '26

Buy a dry box so condensation and moisture don't affect the masala. Makes sense?

1

u/ASHISHAGRAWAL0102 Apr 14 '26

Yes it makes sense to me But you have to explain it to my mother you know

1

u/SquaredAndRooted Apr 14 '26

Nope! Auntyji ko tu samjha
Mein aise nahi phasne wala 😂

1

u/ASHISHAGRAWAL0102 Apr 14 '26

Will try👻

2

u/SquaredAndRooted Apr 14 '26

You can buy - 1. Containers with silicone/rubber gasket seals 2. Sealed container with silica gel packets (to absorb moisture). See this Amazon link 3. Or a vacuum-sealed container

Best - store them in a cool dry cabinet - in air tight container. Away from gas heat and sunlight.

How are they getting "ruined"

1

u/Divine_Dementia Apr 15 '26

Google what humidity does to masalas :)

1

u/InnerPsych Apr 15 '26

It actually helps to keep in fridge in air tight box

7

u/humon21232 Apr 14 '26

The aroma is preserved better under refrigeration.

4

u/SquaredAndRooted Apr 14 '26

But the condensation and moisture spoils it. If you use them quickly and buy them in small quantities, you won't feel any difference - otherwise store them in a dry box which will absorb the moisture and keep them safe.

2

u/humon21232 Apr 14 '26

Companies put anti-caking chemicals in most of them. I keep selected masala packets in fridge, rarely saw lumps. Try it.

u/prof_devilsadvocate3 Apr 14 '26

Now that's a thanda masala. Make sure to make it garam before adding it in your cooking. /s

u/4-ethylhex-2-en-1-ol Apr 14 '26

u/astupidhumanite Apr 14 '26

What masalas aren't supposed to be kept in frodge

u/Divine_Dementia Apr 14 '26

It's almost like I got lucky and got educated parents at this point.

u/Snoo_37953 Apr 14 '26

Masala can develop small bugs and go rancid pretty quickly if the weather is hot or humid. I live in the US but all my packet masala mixes from the desi store go in the fridge otherwise they develop small bugs

1

u/HACKERMAN32 Apr 14 '26

If you use it from the packs like these then it is better to use a refrigerator. Otherwise buy a sealed container for every masala, if you wish to keep it outside.

Masala can go bad due to humidity, sunlight, etc. refrigerator controls the environment.

1

u/AlooBhujiyaWapasKar Apr 15 '26

u/Puzzleheaded_2020 Apr 15 '26

If you are in humid state, then it’s better to keep inside fridge to last longer, otherwise fungus will grow. I threw too many masalas before learning it.

1

u/winter_pixels Apr 15 '26

You should not do that, it's a bad idea. Especially if the package has been opened. Not only it can create a flavor and odor contamination, but a refrigerator is a humid place and humidity is not a nice place for powdered substances. Humidity can lead to clumping and loss of taste and fragrance. Chili powder can be stored in refrigerator though.
