HELP!! Dried salted Narthangai very Hard to eat

doraexplorer1 · Nov 23, 2014

ILites - I need help on my issue. I bought a dried salted narthangai packet last year and in the winter in US, it has become very hard and unable to eat. It is not the soft ones that we get in the packet. What should I do ? Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated.

Try adding a few drops of water, microwave for 30 seconds at a time, and let it sit in the steam for a while. It may become softer.

Thanks! I'll try and let you know if this works. Are there others who have this problem ?
