HOMEMADE BIRYANI MASALA
Yum
Biriyani is the most popular recipe among the indians. The main ingredient to make this biriyani is the biriyani masala. Most of us use the store bought one, here is the homemade biriyani masala.
Fennel seeds - 4 tablespoon
Bay leaf - 4
star anise - 2 tablespoon
cumin seeds - 2 tablespoon
cloves - 2 tablespoons
cinnamon - 6 one inch sticks broken
cardamon - 2 tablespoon
YEILDS : 50 grams of masala
Just microwave or dry roast the above listed spices until they are warm, do not fry them to turn brown. i just want the spices to be warm, so they grind really well. Blend them to a coarse fine powder. Store it in a air tight container for about 2 to 3 months. The major portion goes to the fennel seeds and the other spices are of more or less equal quantity. Remember i have not added coriander seeds and chilis , as they can be added separately depending on the biriyani variety and your own preference. In this way they can be used for both veg and non veg biriyani preparations. In my upcoming post i will share my biriyani recipe.
