What I have found for curry leaves is that you can dry them and then store them in the fridge. It works better with curry leaves fresh from a plant rather than Indian store ones but still works. The way I do it is line a big plate with paper towel. Spread out curry leaves in a single layer and leave them out near a sunny window/patio. After a couple days they will be dry. You can then store for a long period in a glass jar in the fridge. They still have the same tadka effect and most of the aroma is preserved. Nothing beats fresh ofcourse
