Homemade Biryani Masala Mix

If you're into making authentic Indian food then I recommend you make a biryani masala! Super easy-to-make, it'll add fabulous flavours and aromas to your dishes.

Makes about 8 tbsp

3 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp green cardamom pods
1 tbsp peppercorns
1 tbsp fenugreek seeds
4 tsp cumin seeds
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp whole cloves
3 inch piece of cinnamon
8-10 dried bay leaves
2 tsp salt

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

  • Crumble the bay leaves and break up the cinnamon stick

  • Grind the cinnamon and bay pieces along with the salt, cardamom pods, peppercorns, cloves, fenugreek, cumin and coriander seeds

  • Once ground, add to a bowl

  • Finally add the garlic and onion powders to the bowl. Combine thoroughly

That's all there is to it!

Store in an airtight container out of direct sunlight. Use within 3 months.

Note: You could dry toast the peppercorns, coriander, cloves, fenugreek and cumin seeds before grinding. This really brings out their flavours and aromas!

See the toasting and grinding info down the page for tips on this recommended, easy to do cooking process.

How to Toast and Grind

Dry toasting and grinding spices is the key to getting the most flavour out of your ingredients and into your home cooking...

Step 1: Add your whole spices to a dry pan over a low to medium heat and whilst stirring or shaking the pan, lightly toast them for a few minutes. When you can really smell the aromas and they start to darken, they're ready.

Step 2: Let them cool and then grind.

Step 3: For a finer blend, put them through a sieve before combining with any ground ingredients and herbs.
