The perfect blend of spices for the perfect Biryani! Biryani Masala is an essential item in a typical Indian kitchen. Cooked with a mix of rice and veggies, it gives rise to an aromatic and flavourful Biryani that will steal everyone’s hearts. Although this spice mix is readily available in stores, this homemade version will easily outdo all these. To get this masala right take care not to over-roast the ingredients. You just need to roast them lightly to remove any moisture, and must ensure the ingredients do not change colour. If you are unsure of this, you can even keep them in the hot sun to dry. Also measure the quantity of ingredients properly to get the ideal mix of flavours.
