Ingredients
  

  • 4 stick Cinnamon

  • 1 tablespoon Cumin Seeds
  • 4 no Bay Leaf
  • 15 no Green Cardamom
  • 3 no Black Cardamom
  • 8 no Cloves

  • ½ cup Kashmiri Chilli Powder (or 20 Dry Red Chillies)
  • 1 cup Coriander Powder (¾ cup Coriander seeds)
  • 3 no Star Anise
  • 1 tablespoon Whole Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Take all the ingredients in a dry pan and roast it on low heat for 5 mins till it is well toasted. If using whole dry red chillies and coriander seeds add it along with other spices and roast for few minutes till aromatic. If you are using coriander and chilli powder, add it in the end, roast for few seconds and turn off the heat. Once Roasted, remove them to a plate and let it cool down for 5 mins.
  • Take them in a blender and make it into a fine powder.
  • Transfer this powder in a plate and let it cool completely. Now store this in an air tight container.

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. 

Serving & Storage

For Making Biryani, You can use around 2 t0 3 tablespoon of the spice blending depending on the amount of biryani you are making. You can store the biryani masala in an air tight container for upto 2 months.
