Biryani Masala Powder

I never use biryani masala powder when i make biryani..I normally use my regular spice powders like chilli, coriander, garam masala and cumin powders for making them. You can check out my coconut milk biryani, green herb biryani and all the biryani recipes..

I have different types of vegetable biryani recipe in this blog, but i always wanted to post the best veg biryani in this blog. So yesterday i cooked that, i dont want to use regular spice powders for that biryani, i wanted to make it authentic. So decided to make my very own biryani masala powder and make biryan with that.

Ingredients for Biryani Masala Powder

Cinnamon / Pattai - 4 cm piece
Fennel Seeds / Saunf / Sombu - 2 tsp
Cumin Seeds / Jeerakam - 1 tsp
Bay Leaf - 2
Green Cardamom Pods / Yelakai - 5
Black Cardamom Pod - 1
Cloves / Kramu - 5
Mace / Jathipathri / Jatiphala - 2
Kalpasi / Black Stone Flower - 4
Coriander Seeds / Coriander Powder - 3 tblspn
Dry Red Chilli / Chilli Powder - 4 to 5 / 1 tblspn
Star Anise / Anisipu - 1
Whole Black Pepper / Nalamilagu - 1 tsp

So as the first step i made the biryani masala powder and i smelled the blender jar lid once i powdered the spice and i am telling you it was divine..I made biryani out of that and it tasted amazing just like the ones which you get in the restaurant..Will share that recipe soon.

Now remove them to a plate and let it cool down for 5 mins.

The key to a good biryani masala lies in the quality and freshness of the spices used, as well as the roasting process. Roasting the spices enhances their flavors and aromas, contributing to a rich and aromatic masala. Ready-made spices are getting expensive day by day as the is increasing due to inflation. so it is a good idea to have masala for different dishes at home and made by oneself. wonderful effort
