Notes
If you are making the biryani masala in bulk, add one ingredient at a time and toast.
In this recipe, I am using coriander and chilli powder. You can use whole chillies and coriander seeds as well.
I used Kashmiri chilli powder because I don't want my masala to be spicy. You can use half regular chilli powder and half kashmiri as well.
Make sure you roast the spices on low heat for even toasting without burning.
