    Description

    A fragrant masala for the rice dish that likes to make an entrance. This cool-ground blend works through your biryani marinade and base, bringing warmth as the layers cook together. Use it for veg, chicken or mutton biryani as your recipe directs. Save the lid-lifting moment for the table.

    Keep the lid on. Open it at the table.

    How to use
    1. Mix into your marinade or cooking base using the amount suggested by your biryani recipe.
    2. Layer the prepared filling with rice, keeping the rice at the stage your recipe requires.
    3. Cook the biryani fully, allowing meat enough time to cook through before serving.

    Quick tip: Season the filling before layering. It is harder to adjust flavour evenly once the rice is in place.

    • Paneer and vegetable biryani

    Product FAQs

    A few things you may want to know

    Still have a question? Talk to us.
    Is this a whole or ground biryani masala?

    This is the ground spice blend. If your recipe calls for a whole-spice mix to temper in ghee, look for Shahi Biryani Masala Whole instead.

    Can I use it in vegetable biryani?

    Yes. Stir it into the vegetable cooking base before layering with rice. Paneer, peas, carrots and beans give you several combinations to try.

    Should I add the masala directly to the rice?

    It usually works well in the marinade or filling so the flavour spreads through the layers. Follow your recipe rather than scattering a large amount over finished rice.

    Do I still need to prepare the rice separately?

    Follow the rice method in your biryani recipe. Many layered recipes use partly cooked rice, while other methods cook rice and filling together with measured liquid.

    Does the blend contain nuts or dairy?

    Check the pack’s full ingredient and allergen declaration before choosing the blend if you need to avoid nuts, dairy or another ingredient.

    How spicy is it?

    Rice, filling and marinade affect how the spices come through; begin with the pack quantity and adjust any extra chilli.
