    Hey thanks so much for this video! I had a question. I tried storing lemongrass after drying them in the sun for 2-3 days, as you've shared. Once, I stored them for a couple of days I could see some black fungal growth on them. Could you suggest some workaround or if you've faced anything like this?

    • @AmritaBhortake
      @AmritaBhortake  2 месяца назад

      Thanks so much for your kind words. It looks like it wasn’t dry enough. Did the lemongrass leaves snap when broken? It was either the lemongrass itself or the container that had moisture and caused the fungus. The only way to prevent it would be to dry the lemongrass thoroughly and then pack it in a dry sterilized container. There is not much you can do once it has fungus and it will need to be discarded.

    • @AmritaBhortake
      @AmritaBhortake  4 месяца назад

      Yes, it is possible to use a microwave oven if the temperature can be set to a low limit. I would definitely recommend keeping an eye on it and testing out a little bit of lemongrass before making the whole batch because you can burn the lemongrass if the temperature is too hot.

      That’s a great question and I would recommend having gloves while wrapping it too. I just cannot wrap the leaves with gloves on because I find them too cumbersome. I did get 2 cuts though. Lol 😂
      Also, there is no way to remove the sharpness as the edge of the leaf is sharp
