Please inform if the methi muthias can be stored in the fridge for a few weeks? Should we half cook them to store them? Is it better to freeze them? Thanks,
| Hide Replies
Tarla Dalal    Yes, half deep fry them, cool and store in an air tight container in the refrigerator. You need not freeze them. They will stay fresh for 8 to 10 days.
