Are you guilty of storing all your Indian food leftovers in the fridge? Here's why you should think twice before doing so.

The cold temperature of the fridge can alter the taste and texture of certain Indian dishes, making them less enjoyable.

Foods like roti, paratha, and puri tend to become hard and lose their softness when stored in the fridge.

The moisture in the fridge can cause crispy snacks like samosas and pakoras to become soggy and lose their crunch.

Storing chutneys and pickles in the fridge can cause them to lose their flavor and become less spicy.

The strong odors of Indian spices can easily transfer to other foods in the fridge, affecting their taste.

Foods like idli and dosa batter can ferment and turn sour if left in the fridge for too long.

The cold temperature of the fridge can cause the natural oils in nuts and seeds to go rancid, making them taste bitter.

Traditional Indian sweets like barfi and laddoo can become hard and lose their softness when stored in the fridge.

Instead of storing Indian food in the fridge, opt for airtight containers and keep them in a cool, dry place for maximum freshness and flavor.
