Well there are two options there in my view which are blend and chop the chilies with vinegar or chop them normally without anything and simply freeze them....

Fungi Perfecti offers a wide variety of Certified Organic Indoor Mushroom Patches?. Each kit comes with illustrated instructions and is guaranteed to produce. Our Indoor Mushroom Patches are fairly simple to care for; all you do is place the humidity tent we provide over the Patch and water it according to the instructions (in some cases, a soak in cold water might be needed to encourage the Patch to fruit). After these indoor kits stop producing, many of them can be used as spawn to inoculate outdoor garden composts and/or hardwood logs

Hints, Tips, Methods and so on.. / Re: Homemade Ghee
« on: May 21, 2016, 09:26 AM »
1 pound unsalted butter

Put the butter in a heavy, medium-sized pan. Turn the heat on to medium until the butter melts.

Turn down the heat until the butter just boils and continue to cook at this heat. Do not cover the pot. The butter will foam and sputter while it cooks. Whitish curds will begin to form on the bottom of the pot. The butter will begin to smell like popcorn after a while and turn a lovely golden color. Keep a close watch on the ghee, as it can easily burn. After a while it will become a clear, golden color. You will have to take a clean, dry spoon to move away some of the foam on top in order to see if the ghee is clear all the way through to the bottom. When it is clear and has stopped sputtering and making noise, then it needs to be taken off the heat. Let it cool until just warm. Pour it through a fine sieve or layers of cheesecloth into a clean, dry glass container with a tight lid. Discard the curds at the bottom of the saucepan. The ghee is burned if it has a nutty smell and is slightly brown.

1 pound of butter takes about 15 minutes of cooking time. The more butter you are using, the more time it will take.

Ghee can be kept on the kitchen shelf, covered. It does not need refrigeration. The medicinal properties are said to improve with age. Don?t ladle out the ghee with a wet spoon or allow any water to get into the container, as this will create conditions for bacteria to grow and spoil the ghee.

 I store fresh chopped garlic in just enough oil to cover, in a small glass jar in the fridge.
Ginger/garlic paste could be stored the same way, since you'll probably saute it anyway, as a base for your masala dishes.
It will be a great time saver if you prepare enough to last you about a week at a time.
Freezing is not a suitable alternative.
