Do this as soon as you bring the chillies home
*First, wash the chillies well in water.
*After washing, break off and separate the stems.
*Then, dry the chillies completely. Remember, there should be no moisture left.
*Next, get an airtight container ready.
Before you put the chillies in the airtight container, follow this step.
*Place a tissue paper or a piece of newspaper inside the box.
*This paper will absorb any moisture that builds up over time.
*Now, put the green chillies on top, close the lid, and store it in the fridge.
*This will keep them fresh for at least 15-20 days.

Do this to make them last even longer
If you want your chillies to last even longer, remember these points.
*At least once a week, open the container and let it sit under a fan for a bit.
*Fresh air circulation greatly reduces the chance of rotting.
*Also, check the box now and then. If you spot a spoiled chilli, remove it immediately. That one bad chilli can spoil the whole batch.

If you are making a paste
If you plan to make a paste, add a spoonful of cooking oil and a pinch of salt while grinding the chillies. This trick stops the paste from changing colour and keeps its taste intact, even in the fridge.
