"Biryani Masala" Spice Mix
"Biryani Masala" is an earthy Indian spice mix popular throughout South Asia, with a rich flavor profile of floral notes, peppery undertones, and a hint of spiciness.
Ingredients
Cinnamon, Fennel, Cumin, Laurel, Cardamom, Black Cardamom, Clove, Mace, Coriander, Chili, Star Anise, Black Pepper
Use
Beef, chicken, fish, lamb, mutton, or even prawns can be used for the meat. We recommend using some of this spice mix in a marinade with yogurt and salt. The active bacteria in the yogurt will aid in protein breakdown, keeping the meat moist and tender. Unlike citric acid, which is found in most lemony marinades, lactic acid in yogurt breaks down considerably slower, thus the risk of the marinade making the meat mushy is much lower.
Notes
◉ Should be stored in airtight glass containers -in a cool, dark, and dry place- to preserve the flavor, texture, and properties.
