I am definitely in love with this Biryani masala. It unfailing gives you an amazingly aromatic Biryani.
I do not know the name of the author of this post nor the site that I have downloaded this as it was something I did ages ago. In case you know whose post this was please let me know so that I can link it back.
It is called Mutta/Egg Biryani-Malabar Style. I will post the biryani recipe eventually as in the recent reformatting I have lost all my drafts and have no desire to start typing all over the same stuff again.
As it is I have got my younger kid to volunteer typing out the ingredients and method.
Use this masala when making Quick Veg Pulao. You will love it.
Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon fennel seeds( saunf)
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
- ½ teaspoon shajeera/caraway seeds
- 4 cloves
- 1 cardamom
- 1 flat cinnamon (1-inch length)
- ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1 whole mace
Method:
The recipe says grind everything to a fine powder but I have found slightly roasting it give a delicious aroma. The yield is two teaspoons.

Home made biriyani masala is always better. It gives fresh flavours to the dish. I also make small quantities so that the asala doesn't loose its flavours.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Shobha.
Mayuri Patel says
Any spice mixture that has mace in it turns into a very flavorful mixture. Like how your biryani spice mixture is simple and yet packed with aromatic spices.Home made spice mixtures are the best.
