How to keep the rest
To maintain its crispness, store any remaining Bajri Khakhra in an airtight container at room temperature. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to prevent moisture from entering, which can make the khakhra soft and lose its signature crunch. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat.
