Tamarind chutney is best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its flavor and prevent spoilage. Properly refrigerated, it can last for several weeks to a few months. Ensure the container is clean and dry before storing the chutney. To prevent cross-contamination, use a clean utensil each time you take some out. For longer storage, you can freeze the chutney in small portions for up to six months, but the texture may change slightly upon thawing.
