Storage
Typically Indian tomatoes can be stored for about a week. Store tomatoes stem-side down on paper towels in an open container away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator because the cold temperature will cause flavor and texture loss. They can also be stored for longer in the form of puree or paste in the refrigerator in an air tight container.
