While moringa podi tastes best when served fresh, if you have made a big batch, you can store it in an airtight container for up to 2 months in a cool, dry place. However, make sure to keep a check for signs of spoilage. Before using, analyse its colour, texture and smell. Moringa podi should maintain its original colour, and smell fresh instead of rancid. Moreover, throw away the podi if you notice any mould or clumps in it.
