What is biryani masala?
Biryani masala is a fragrant spice blend used to build the layered aroma and savoury depth associated with biryani. Rather than relying on a single spice, a biryani blend brings together multiple aromatic ingredients so home cooks can create a more rounded flavour with less guesswork.
Our Zouk Biryani Masala 60g Tin is made to work with chicken, lamb, seafood or vegetables.
How do you use biryani masala?
Use it in the masala base before layering with rice. Start modestly and adjust to taste depending on the other spices and ingredients in your recipe.
Chicken biryani
Add the spice to your onion, tomato and yoghurt masala before combining or layering with rice. Follow our easy chicken biryani recipe.
Lamb biryani
The warming spices work particularly well with slow-cooked lamb and richer sauces.
Vegetable biryani
Use with onions, tomatoes, potatoes, cauliflower, peas or other vegetables for a fragrant meat-free biryani.
Biryani masala vs garam masala
Garam masala is a broad, versatile blend used across many curries, dals and stews. Biryani masala is more specifically designed to build the aroma and complexity expected in biryani and rice dishes. See Garam Masala vs Biryani Masala.
