Broth is prepared by boiling bones, meat, fish or vegetables in water, and these are commonly used in curry, gravies, soup and for steaming rice to add more flavor and taste to the dish. Broth can be prepared in bulks and can be refrigerated in a glass bottle once it reaches the room temperature. It stays fresh for 2 to 3 weeks.
