Green Chillies or Hari Mirch

For a quick Indian dish, green  chili comes extremely handy for adding a zing in the dish or simply to give it a fresh look. Green chilies are also known for their Vitamin C content and can be consumed raw.

Coriander - Dhaniya

As dhaniya, coriander is used for garnishing in many dishes, a quick and easy way is to separate the stem from the leaves and stored them in a zippo or air-tight container for later use.
That way you don't have to go through the entire process whenever you need them.
