    Biryani Masala Powder

    I never use biryani masala powder when i make biryani..I normally use my regular spice powders like chilli, coriander, garam masala and cumin powders for making them. You can check out my coconut milk biryani, green herb biryani and all the biryani recipes..

      Never put the masala or any flour on the newspaper.
      The print ink and other dirt will be mixed with the food items.
