Biryani Masala is a blend of whole spices lightly roasted and powdered. Used specifically for biryani’s, the masala powder adds not only flavour but the faint aroma that’s required in a perfect biryani.
The blend is similar to garam masala which means “hot spices”. It is not spicy but can add pungency or over flavour a particular dish when not used in the right proportions.
