Transfer dry ingredients like grains, flour, spices, and pulses into airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption.
Store ingredients away from areas prone to moisture, such as near windows, sinks, or in direct contact with kitchen countertops.
Inspect ingredients regularly for signs of pests attracted to humidity. Use pest-control measures if necessary.
Perishable items like dairy products, fresh herbs, and vegetables should be refrigerated promptly to prevent spoilage in humid conditions.
Keep storage areas clean and dry to minimize the risk of mold growth or contamination.
Prevent condensation by letting hot foods cool before sealing them in containers and wiping the containers' lids dry before closing.
If possible, sun-dry fresh masala and spices before storing them to remove excess moisture and extend their shelf life.
