Do you use Biryani Masala Powder in Biryani? if yes, what do you use store-bought or homemade?
Biryani is one of the most favorite dish for many people and it is one of the most popular post in this humble space. Most of my biryani recipes call for biryani masala powder, so today am gonna discuss about how to make this aromatic powder at home using whole spices, this will definitely come handy when preparing biryani.
Being a huge fan of biryani, I always stock this masala in my pantry. If you are like me then try this recipe and have it handy. Here I have used whole spices, lightly roasted and powdered which makes the masala powder smell divine. The blend is similar to garam masala and can be prepared easily at home, So why go for store-bought ones? Just gather all spices, and dry roast and grind to get the most flavorful masala, then store in air-tight containers and use when needed 1 to 11/2 tsp per cup of rice makes a good aromatic biryani.

Notes
Always store in a dry clean airtight container to increase its shelf life. Do not leave it open the aroma will easily get lost.
Roasting are done to bring out the aroma of the spices and to prevent the masala powder from getting spoil.
You can prepare this in bulk and store, but fresh masala taste too good.
